AP Summit 2022: Insights from a Newbie

We caught up with Deont’e Taylor, Affiliate Marketing Associate at Acceleration Partners, to learn about his experience attending his first in-person AP Summit this past May. Discover what it’s like for new employees at AP Summit, how AP gives coworkers unique bonding opportunities, and the biggest life lessons Deont’e took away from this year’s annual event. First, I would like to thank Emily Tetto and Annabelle Loudon for their hard-work and commitment to planning an exceptional AP Summit this year. This was an amazing experience that I will remember and appreciate for the rest of my life. We had a ton of activities to choose from and I was determined to do as much as could with my limited time at Camp No Counselors (where this year’s summit was held). As a personal goal, I wanted to meet as many people as I could and to try anything I’ve never done before. I was there to make memories—and I can definitely confirm that memories were made! Branching outside of my comfort zone I am a city kid (from Chicago, Illinois) head to toe. I’ve never been camping, done any water activities, or even been out of the country—yet! Thanks to AP Summit 2022, I was able to check a camping trip off my bucket list, do some rope climbing, archery, and waterski!
