Quotes from Conference 2007 Attendees

“A really great lineup of visiting presenters from around the world.”

“A lot of projects were born during this conference and I'd to thank for this event, which was the missing link in the art world.”

“I, who had almost given up on conferences, thought it was terrific.”

“It was highly stimulating to be in contact with so many people from around the US and the world.”

“CONGRATULATIONS! I think the real success of the event was in bringing artists face-to-face with each other and with others in the field, and in exposing ambitious artists to players in various aspects of the field. Expanding worlds, but also providing real interaction and opportunity for personal dialogue.”

“This is one attendee that enjoyed all of the sessions that I could manage to physically attend.”

“I hesitate to be redundant with my peers, but the conference was fabulous! “

“I felt privileged to be a part of it all.” – QUOTES FROM THE 2007 CONFERENCE
