Outstanding Conference in Philadelphia this year. The venue was excellent and the local Chapter members who staffed the event were always smiling and excited to help in anyway possible. Thank you to all involved this year.
One suggestion: I am an Active member and not a Commercial member so this is just my personal observation - Move the vendor floor days back to Monday-Tuesday-Wednesday instead of opening on Sunday. A lot of attendees appeared to be still arriving on Sunday and the attendance on the vendor display floor appeared to be really light. This schedule change to start everything on Sunday also made the entire conference have the feel of being compacted and it was difficult to attend everything with such a great list of events.

As Keri indicates, another great event in a long series of successful APCO conferences. The host conference committee, volunteers, and APCO staff put on a good show. Kudos to all involved!
