Celebrating 5 Years of cred, Virtually
Five years is a huge milestone for many life events, and yesterday cred turned 5 years old (on 5/5/20, our golden birthday!).
Five years in and, just as our CEO Caitlin Bartley shared on our last birthday, as we grow, our why remains the same: We believe that bringing knowledgeable, passionate speakers to engaged audiences builds awareness and excitement for you and your brand.
Since 5 years is such an important milestone, we wanted to stop and reflect on some of the biggest moments and accomplishments from our first half-decade.

Our team always appreciated these casual meeting areas, but over the last few weeks, they’ve taken on even greater importance.
