On June 18th, 2018 ZoomInfo held the 3rd annual Growth Acceleration Summit—a premier B2B sales and marketing conference that allows the best and brightest in the industry to network, learn, and enjoy the city of Boston.
This year’s professional event featured industry legends, experts, and best-selling authors like Earvin “Magic” Johnson, Jay Baer, Grant Cardone, Neil Patel, and Michael Brenner. Attendees learned about a variety of topics, listened to never-before-heard stories, and walked away with the most actionable, ground-breaking tips on team alignment and productivity.
If you weren’t able to attend this year, fear not, we’ve compiled some of the best tweets from the 2018 Growth Acceleration Summit. Let’s take a look!
