Tripkicks CEO Jeff Berk took the virtual stage for a seven minute pitch, then responded to questions from the panel of judges and conference participants. “For a business travel innovator, there is no greater validation on your product and the real challenges you are helping companies to solve,” says Berk.  Our congratulations to Thrust Carbon, recipient of the Judge’s Choice award, and all the great companies we had the privilege of sharing the stage with.
