"After attending previous industry conferences with limited practical takeaways, the ASAP Summit was refreshingly actionable. The unbiased case studies, including both successes and failures, provided honest perspectives that I could immediately relate to our partnership challenges. Worth every minute and euro invested." ~ Ard-Pieter de Man, PhD, CSAP, CA-AM, Professor of Management Studies, Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam
