Why the Beet Retreat is So Special
Here is a testimonial from Roland Hamilton, General Manager of Dailymotion, North America. He was a participant and his company was the lead sponsor of this year’s retreat which took place in February:
“The Beet.TV Retreat in Vieques is a one of a kind conference. What makes this conference special is the host and his carefully curated guest list and program. Andy Plesser provides the perfect venue to discuss big ideas and develop relationships with current and future business partners. I was consistently impressed by the level of the speakers and moderators as well as the organization of the activities. I highly recommend.” To view the 45 video segments from this February Beet Retreat, visit this directory page.
