Very well organized. Really enjoyed the mixture and variety of formats for presentations.

Architect – Carrier Johnson + Culture

This is my fourth time to attend and I continue to believe these events are valuable. The opportunity to hear a variety of speakers inspires new thinking. Meeting one-on-one with people who are really knowledgeable about their products, in one place, is convenient and efficient. Holding these events in nice, interesting venues gives the chance to relax as well.

Vice President Specifications Manager – FKP Architects

As always, very good. Professional set up and venue. Very good speaker presentations – topics and presentations.

Vice President – Cannon Design

Excellent. I like the format of workshops interspersed with business meetings. I also like the expansion/intermix of specs, architecture and interiors – it brings more perspectives to the table.
