Testimonials
“Thanks very much for everything this weekend. Really enjoyed it, especially the atmosphere of sharing of ideas, opinions and experiences. Great to meet and put a face to a number of people that I’ve followed for a number of years in print and online. Definitely glad I decided to attend!”
“Just wanted to personally thank you for inviting me to attend yet again this year. It meant a lot and I learned a ton! From the conversations abound, seems as though this year definitely built off of the previous year’s installment. People seemed even more engaged, more involved and more dynamic. The on-ice presentations were super insightful. The stuff on the Overlap and Box Control stood out to me specifically. I loved it all.”
