"Awesome conference! Thank you, and everyone else who worked so hard to arrange it, and pull it together the day of the event. The speakers were great, and the attendance was strong. All came together to make this a very insightful day. I went through life in Miami for years looking for something like this, without knowing who, how, where, or what. Such a cool idea. I look forward to the next conference, and any formal or informal conversations, or workshops that may come up between here and there."

"Our participation in Adams Morgan Day was extremely successful on many levels. It was our best single financial day on all the events we've ever been at.

I was also impressed with the local representation of vendors and the participation of true neighborhood businesses."
-- Colin Diemer, President, Peanut Envy (vendor)

"This was THE BEST 1-day show we have ever done! It was extremely well organized, everyone was courteous and helpful and the sun was shining! I think the layout and mix of vendors was really good. I have only been exhibiting for the past few years, but it seemed that this year's drew even more people."
-- Pat McCarty, Kashmir Imports (vendor)
