Wu and Singh had very positive experiences as a result of the three-day conference. While in town,they heard from four keynote speakers from different industries. The speakers –蒂姆·吉尔,乔治Kalogridis,拉维恩考克斯,和莫甘娜贝利-都是各自行业的明星，涉及创业、金融、媒体和娱乐等多个领域。
除了主题演讲，ROMBA会议提供了建立联系的机会，人才招聘会、and dinner events. Wu encouraged other students to attend next year because "…this conference was really organized. Everyone was so helpful and willing to help. It was so easy to meet and network with everyone,不管行业,公司,or position. It was the best conference I have attended in the United States." During the trek,Wu and Singh had the opportunity to network extensively. Each expressed similar sentiments – namely,that the conference helped to expand their views of professional leadership within the LGBTQ community. While at the conference,辛格会见了该公司的员工PA咨询集团他收集了宝贵的信息，最终接受了公司的全职工作。
吴会见了营销经理和公司高管美国航空公司,西南航空公司,和三角洲航空公司。在与公司高层会面后，he was able to gather insights on social media best practices.
