What our attendees say about our conferences ....

The event was extremely well-organized, and the speakers were wonderful. I've learned so much and I'm eager to start putting it into practice. It was also incredibly refreshing to be around other chamber professionals who just get it. I made a lot of valuable connections and am already in contact with many of the people I met. -- Kathryn Rhoden, Marketing & Event Coordinator, Greater Bartow Chamber of Commerce

Just wanted to take a moment to thank you for your efforts to make this year’s Fall conference so AMAZING. The speakers and programming seemed to be truly spot on and resonated with our entire group from Sarasota. -- Heather Kasten, CCE, President, Sarasota Chamber of Commerce

I want to reiterate how fantastic last week’s conference was! You do such a great job at putting together a stellar program and I want you to know that I am better at my job because of you!  -- Kim Dalglish, IOM, Vice President, Manatee Chamber of Commerce
