I wanted to reach out to thank you for a wonderful Expo and Gala last week! That was my first ASID event that I've attended since college and it was great! It was wonderful meeting other design professionals and knocking out most of my CEUs for the year. I'll definitely be back next year!

I wanted to thank you for inviting us to be part of the ASID Texas event [Celebrating Design Texas 2023] last week. I met some incredible people and learned a lot about the Design industry. I made some new friends too! I hope to build some new relationships and be a resource for some of the Designers for their art needs.

You all did a bang up job on CDT. The vendors were great, friendly and full of information. It was so much more intimate. Loved everything about it, and the speaker in my CEU was first rate. I had the pleasure of introducing him. Thanks for a job very well done.
