"I will start with what I said at the event, I really was very impressed and enjoyed it immensely. I was blown away by the production value put into the events, and I thought the schedule flowed really well. I definitely felt we got our money’s worth. The location in Las Vegas was great, and I am very excited about Nashville next year.
I look forward to staying involved and in touch with you."
