• I just want to say thank you for what was surely a lot of hard work in order to host the very informative and well paced conference this past Saturday. I was extremely impressed by the variety and vivacity of the speakers, the time given to regular networking breaks, and last but not least, the constant availability of food and beverage, which played a large part in keeping me energized enough to benefit from the wisdom and inspiration that abounded in that gathering of like-minded and like-challenged artists! Kudos to you and your team. I eagerly await the next such conference, to which I plan to bring as many colleagues as I can! Holly Arsenault

• I can't wait till you put the next such event together. This was above and beyond my wildest expectations, to string all the cliches at my disposal together at once, but not far off the mark, either.
