This was my first warranty summit in my eight years in the field, and it was eye‑opening. I’d searched for something like this early in my career and never found anything comparable. Hearing speakers voice the same ideas, concerns, and roadblocks I’ve faced made me realize I’m not alone in these challenges. I’ll definitely be back for future summits and am excited to join the working groups.
