“We wanted to send our sincerest thanks for joining us today! You were an incredible hit among our team. Hearing you talk about issues that our team is so incredibly passionate about was enlightening and energizing. I know it can be challenging to get a sense of the audience’s reaction via a virtual event, so I wanted to share just a small selection of our team member’s reactions. I also joined our Marketing meeting immediately following and the team was effusive in their praise. Let’s just say one team member said, ‘I could have listened to her all day!’. Other team members made comments like, ‘It was absolutely amazing, thought provoking, candid, etc. My favorite event I’ve been to at Zocdoc.’; ‘THIS WAS SO GOOD!’; ‘This was easily my favorite Zocdoc event of all time. WOW.'” -Zocdoc
