It was welcoming, reassuring, provided a safe space to engage and have motivational and supportive conversations with others in the industry. The quality of speakers was exceptional. The fact Tanya was able to bring together in one room and in one day the quality of speakers, who were so generous with their time and knowledge was fantastic. The goodie bag and styling of the room alone was enough to attend. Thank you Tanya. So glad to be a part of it all. Can't wait to see what is next
