RISE Reviews

I emailed riseconf.com support twice about an issue with my ticket, and both times the replies were basically no help. I kept checking my inbox, even the spam folder, and rereading the ticket details to make sure I wasn’t missing some tiny note or confirmation link. In the end, I had to sort it out on my own. it just felt like I was being ignored, which was frustrating and not what I expected.

I went to RISE with my brother and was actually impressed with the food stalls. I grabbed a noodle bowl and we shared a few pastries, and everything was better than I expected. The prices were a little on the high side, but that felt normal for an event like this.

The coffee itself tasted good, but the morning lines were definitely long and could’ve moved faster. It also would’ve been nice to have a few more water stations around. Overall, we had a good experience, not perfect, but definitely solid.

I thought the speakers were good overall. Most of them clearly knew what they were talking about and explained things in a way that was easy enough to follow, which I appreciated. There were just a few talks that felt like they went on a little longer than they needed to, or maybe spent too much time on details that didn’t add a ton for me personally. Not bad by any means, just a bit slow in spots. Overall, still a good experience

I was a bit frustrated right away because the emails were confusing and the updates didn’t come in until late. I kept having to ask really basic questions, and even after that, I still felt like I didn’t fully know what was going on

I had a good experience with it. I was able to connect with investors without much hassle, and the whole process felt simple. Definitely felt worth it to me.

In the end, the event felt legit to me. There were a lot of familiar sponsors around, and seeing those names definitely made it feel more credible.

The timing was just all over the place. Sessions kept starting late, the breaks didn’t really line up with what was on the agenda, and I ended up sitting around waiting way more than I should’ve. It kinda felt like nobody was really keeping things moving, which was frustrating...

I went to riseconf mainly hoping to make some solid connections, but i left feeling like I probably shouldn’t have spent the time and money on it.
There were definitely plenty of people there, but the way everything was set up didn’t make it easy to meet the right ones. Most conversations felt rushed or random, and the app didn’t really help me find useful contacts like I expected it to.
Maybe it’s a better experience if you already know people going in or have meetings lined up beforehand. For me, though, it just didn’t feel worth it, and I kept thinking I could’ve used that time better elsewhere

For the price, it was still a good deal overall. That said, I did feel a little misled because I expected the experience to be better based on how it was described. Not terrible, just not quite what I thought I was paying for.

The audience was a little mixed, but there were definitely some nice people there. Overall, it wasn’t a bad experience, just had a slightly varied vibe

I enjoyed the event overall, and there were definitely some interesting points shared. That said, the panel moderation felt a bit all over the place at times, which made it harder to follow the discussion. I left feeling like the event had a lot of potential, but it could’ve been much smoother with a more focused moderator

Overall, the topics were solid and most of the agenda lined up with what I needed. A few sessions didn’t quite hit the mark for me, but it was still useful... just not all of it felt totally relevant.

We joined RISE mainly to get more visibility for our startup, it did what we hoped. I always look for patterns at these events, who shows up, what kinds of conversations repeat, whether the follow-ups actually happen, and this one felt more relevant than a lot of others we’ve tried. We met some genuinely useful people and had a few conversations continue afterward. It wasn’t perfect, but for us, the overall signal was good and it felt worth the time.

I had a good time overall and thought the event was well organized. From my experience, the only downside was that check-in took longer than I expected, and it felt a little crowded at times. Still, I’m glad I went...

I went to Riseconf expecting a bit of energy and excitement, but the vibe was flat. Some spots were packed and stressful, while other areas felt oddly dead, which was an interesting choice. It didn’t feel especially welcoming either — more like everyone was rushing somewhere important or already locked into their little groups. Not a total disaster by any means, but the atmosphere definitely didn’t make it easy to enjoy the event

The staff did help me out when I got stuck with this and that, so I can’t really complain too much. The replies were a little slow though, and some of it felt like it could’ve been more organised. Overall, not bad, just a few things they could tidy up.

I registered for RISE it felt straightforward. My gut reaction was that the process was simple and not something I had to overthink. One page did take a little longer to load, which made me pause for a second, but it wasn’t a big deal. The confirmation email came through quickly, so overall it left me with a good impression

I went mainly for the workshops, and while they weren’t bad, a lot of it felt basic and a little rushed. There were a few useful takeaways here and there, and the instructors seemed knowledgeable, but for the price I was hoping for more hands-on, practical stuff

We had a booth at the event, it just didn’t feel worth the cost. We barely walked away with any useful leads, and the whole setup process was more confusing than it needed to be. The staff seemed rushed whenever we had questions, so a lot of the time we felt like we were just left in the dark trying to figure things out on our own. For what we paid, I expected a much smoother experience and better turnout

I used the Rise Conf app during the event i was pleasantly surprised by how easy it was to use. The schedule, speaker details, and updates were all in one place, so I wasn’t constantly digging through emails to figure out what was happening next. A couple of small things took me a moment to find, but overall it worked really well and made the event a lot easier to navigate.
