I know all of us are appreciative to Furniture Today and the sponsors that helped put this conference together. I think I have visited all of the expo booths and enjoyed learning about some that I had no idea about. Also, I am pleased to see many names of retailers that I have met. Can’t wait to do this in person, but for now, this really worked.
This was as close to seamless as I think you can get on a virtual platform. Thank you for hosting!
Really enjoyed the transparency that Todd, Farooq and Kurt shared during their panel session! Don’t often get the opportunity to hear leaders discuss failures and successes so openly! #FTLeadership
