Bravo to Paul Budde for running a GREAT conference this past weekend at Gustavus Adolphus!! If you have not made the happy journey to St. Peter for this event, please try to do so in the future. It is an extraordinarily well thought out event!

A good time was had by all!

Cheers!

I agree with Professor Zerkel on this. Huge kudos to Paul for yet another great show. We enjoyed being there as an exhibitor and got to meet lot of new people and catch up with some old friends as well.

This is a well thought out, high quality event and I encourage anyone that can, to get there and experience it in person.

Thanks again Paul. Hope to see you again soon.
