“This may be the first conference I've been to where I actually felt like everything was worth my time from beginning to end. It was short, so the value was packed in there very tightly.”

"This conference felt like a reunion with wonderful friends I had never met before. I wasn't aware that a conference could facilitate that kind of interaction, but it really speaks to the character of our people."

“It was so well structured that I didn't even need to caffeinate myself to stay focused.”
