“I was proud to be sitting amongst the best and brightest women in the industry. I think we all felt a sense of camaraderie.”

— Gina Porcaro (Classic Exhibits)

“It was empowering to be sitting in a room full of women who were actively pursuing their careers in the exhibit industry. There’s nothing quite like being with a group of career-oriented women who want to see each other succeed. I am already excited to attend this event next year.” 

— Jessica Diers (Diers Exhibits)
