If you're getting the band back together after years apart, then it would be rude not to take some snaps of the occasion. Here's a selection that made it past the cutting room floor.

Tagline

Medium length section heading goes here

So, what went down?

Education + Upskilling

We had over 6 hours of content you won't find anywhere else. If Gecko is part of your day-to-day, you returned home better equipped to get the most from our modules.

Networking + Alcohol*

Y'all networked with the largest group of Gecko users on the planet, and shared your expertise, anecdotes and insight.
* Non-alcoholic drinks were, of course, available.

Support + Feedback

We hosted the Genius Gecko Bar for support from your Account Manager, catching a quick-fire demo of new functionality, or freely venting and sharing what you'd like to see improved in Gecko.
