    I thought I would have more networking with other new business owners and not just exhibitors,who wanted my business .
  • Melissa Soupir
    There were a good number and diversity of exhibitors. Recommendation: consider including a facilitated opportunity for members to network with each other.
  • Brian Fanslau
    Great expo! This was a great networking experience.
  • Connie Anderson
    A nice diverse range of exhibitors who had time and interest in speaking with everyone. Good food and conversations with the exhibitors and other attendees.
  • Nancy Przymus
    Needed standing tables to hold the food plates so people could eat in more comfort. The sponsors and exhibitors were very helpful.
  • William N. Lehnertz
    Very well done. Good venue. Food was outstanding. Parking not a problem. Check-in speedy. Hosts were very welcoming and personable.
  • Gene Wood
    It was a good mix of businessess
  • Tisha Sherdan-Korf
    The expo gave me resources for my small business that I did not have. I was able to connect to people who I can add to my network and have a positive impact. I was also able to speak live on The Peter McClellan Show, to discuss what my business and passion is about. I thought that was so awesome!
  • Patti Beuc
    Great turnout. Good food.
  • Lisa!
    I reallly had a good time. As I booth at many of these events, this time I came as an attendee and enjoyed meeting all of the people who paid for their spots. I gave each one of them an introduction and swapped business cards. I felt a really good "face to face" connection with many that I will move to my online world and will no doubt, see them again at other events. As well, I ran into many of my online networking colleagues and contacts, excellent event!
  • Mark Borman
    Thanks for making this happen.
  • Edward Jerome
    I met a gentleman at this Expo who can not only help me hit a home run for my business, but if things go as well as we both expect, he can help me hit the ball out of the ballpark and a couple of blocks down the street outside the stadium. So I feel absolutely ecstatic. The Expo was a very productive use of my time. Edward Jerome. WindWriter Publications.

    I guessed at how many attended. I think the parking for the venue was tough. People really struggled for that. I There was a pretty big group of people to talk with, various sponsors & etc. I liked the food table because attendees could stand around there and network.
  • LuAnne Speeter
    Great mix of small businesses represented. Perfect proportion of booths and attendees - didn't have to wait long to talk to vendors. Best of all, I was interviewed on AM1570 - what a great opportunity for my business start-up! No, wait - even better was that this only cost me $10!
  • Jeff Ferrazzo
    Nice, location, parking was a little difficult, but the room was great. Thank you for having the wider aisle whenever possible. That is not only nice for all of us walking through, but also helps out the vendors....by allow them room to chat with prospects and for the prospects to not feel rushed to leave a both, because someone in the aisle is bumping them. You had a nice selection of businesses and the food was good too. Look forward to the next one!

    get a bigger space to allow more booths. cut the entrance fee. the booth revenue should cover that. most expo events do not charge admission
  • Ted Landwehr
    Good seminars - especially from Zellner & Associates. Need more people to attend.
  • Jon Scott
    Great Event!!
  • darci eckermann
    It will be nice when there is a more diverse group of companies showcasing. The format was good, but a few booths looked to have low traffic issues due to placement, always tough to avoid though.
  • Jane Yuen-Lin Mahowald
    Not enough attendees
  • Deb Nelson
    Great facility and great food. Too many accountants and financial institutions.
