As one of the conference organizers, it really does my heart good to read this.
Conferences are only as good as the people who show up for them. You brought so much energy. You all rock - I feel so fortunate to be a part of this big, beautiful thing. You're my second family that I see once a year and with no drama! Now as I work through some post-conference depression, I'll have to find other ways to stay involved with the community ...

This was my first Evergreen conference and I am already looking forward to next year's. I've been to a lot of software and library conferences in the past, but I truly got more out of this one than any of the others because it is so focused and nearly everyone here has the same goals - to get more out of the product as it is, and to continue to make the product better. It's really a smart and creative community of people.

The committees did a tremendous job of lining up presentations that covered topics we really wanted to hear about at a comfortable venue and for a very reasonable price. Huge thanks to both the Conference Organizing Committee and the Conference Program Planning Committee, and no I'm not getting a kickback for saying this stuff. I came home with reams of notes and a stack of business cards. Fair warning to all you generous people: I'll be emailing you with questions! If there's any way your budget can be stretched to allow it, I highly recommend attending next year's conference, wherever and whenever it's held.
