Don’t take our word for it…
It’s been a fantastic, fantastic conference. The turnout has been fantastic. It’s good to be back in the same room with people.
We’re really looking forward to all of the new products that we have coming in for our customers. Lots of new products, lots of diversity in terms of different styles, and different models that we’re very excited to have for our customers.
Anytime I get on a panel, I’m happy to do it. It was informative and I thought there was good synergy with the people on the panel. It’s been a lot of great information to take home to the team.
Motivational, inspirational; a lot of things that we can take away to take our business to the next level.
It was so inspirational and it made me think so differently about our business and what’s important. It was fantastic.
Furniture Today is something we live with. The conference is a really good place to come spend a couple of days to review what your ideas and plans are for the coming year.
