“It was a pleasure working with FIRST on the Shopify Unite 2022 series. Despite the tight timelines and complexity of a roadshow event, FIRST helped bring to life a well-executed experience for all attendees. It was a great first step back into in-person events after Unite’s 3-year hiatus. The FIRST team showed such professionalism on site and brought energy and genuine excitement to a really challenging project. We look forward to being able to work with them again in the near future!”
