Testimonials

"Experimentation island was easily the best conference I've ever been to. I came hoping for knowledge and connection with experienced experimentation professionals, and left with that and more-connections, community, support, and many more ideas to take back to my team than from any other conference I've been to."

Elizabeth, Product Data Scientist
Testimonial from our event in February 2026

"#Ei2026 is by far the most unique professional conference I've ever attended. It's easy to get lost in the mix at conferences with thousands of attendees. The intimate vibe made it easy to get to know one another."

Brion, Manager/Developer
Testimonial from our event in February 2026

“Experimentation island is 3 days around the people who built the industry, define its standards, and set a course for its future. If you work in experimentation, this is required attendance.”
