“We are excited to be a part of the Traction Conference again this year,” said Shafin Diamond Tejani, Chief Executive Officer of Fantasy 6. “We feel it is vitally important not only for our own tech teams to have the opportunity to learn and connect with the best leaders in the technology space, but it is also important for us as leaders to help other tech companies access the valuable knowledge that comes together at the Traction Conference.”
Tejani added, “From a Fantasy 6 perspective, we look forward to the conference as a forum for new partnerships and new acquisition opportunities. There is no better place for us to seed many of those growth relationships simply because of the caliber of leadership that assembles at the Traction Conference and there are new opportunities every year.”
