"We have had the pleasure of working with Franklin for two investor summits and had excellent experiences. Their team’s planning and execution brought together panels, lunches, one-on-one investor meetings, and receptions seamlessly. Subsequently, Franklin is now working on programs and events at our other JLABS locations. If you’re looking for a team that can deliver impactful, well-organized, and successful venture events, we would recommend Franklin."
