The 16th Annual HSCG Conference has just wrapped up in Raleigh, North Carolina and we are fit to bursting to share all the details with you. While we catch our breath from the excitement of last week and recover from the travel back home, we would like to heartily thank the many individuals and companies that contributed to this year’s conference.
From early mornings and late nights to complete loopyness by the last day (though to be fair, we were not the ones throwing flying monkeys during class), volunteers run the show (which also makes them hard to photograph – that constant movement leads to some blurry photos). We hope the volunteer force helped make your conference experience awesome this year! Here’s who you may have seen announcing speakers, ferrying supplies, giving directions, selling raffle tickets, tweeting madly and wearing tiaras:

I had the time of my life…..
As a newbie to the conference I can’t thank EVERYBODY enough. The conference was amazing, the speakers were topnotch, vendors and sponsors were very generous and the participants were so willing to share their expertise. I am privileged to belong to this group and am looking forward to many more conferences. Many thanks to all.

Looking forward to seeing more pictures, it seems like a fantastic event. I would also like to see the winners of the soap contest you run.
Absolutely, lots more posts coming (and eventually, some of the professional pics!)
Thank you all so very much! It was such a successful conference and your hard work was definitely appreciated. It’s not easy putting on a convention but you did it hands down the best yet!
From sponsors to presentations wow and thanks!
