Hey great CCA folks!
I don't know if this is the best place to post my 'after the event' comments, but it's where I know to go and post my 2 cents.
Kate and I could not have asked for a single thing that wasn't already thought of in advance and covered. The CCA gang is hands down the most organized and accommodating bunch of knowledgeable and kind and helpful people I've encountered in this trade! Each individual contributes to the whole process. The result is a truly seamless flow of responsibilities (for which there are an endless tide of before, during and after the actual event that we can see) managed in an extremely professional and personal manner.
We are so thankful to be included for any part of this event.
Attendance is growing for all the right reasons. Realistically, if this person tells that person how great the event was, next year's attendance can seriously be expected to nearly double. Again. I'm no statistician, but I think that's pretty much how it works.
Provided that the interest in fish and associated products is still present among folks in the greater NJ/DE/MD/VA/PA areas (personally, I sure hope that's the case!), then there's no reason not to see that kind of result in future attendance. You'll need to tear down a wall or two to accommodate seating for speakers
!
From the bottom of our hearts, Kate and I wish to thank each and every one of you responsible for bringing it all together.
We feel truly privileged to be among a caring and growing community of fish heads!
