From a vendor perspective,  a Big Thanks to the Host Committee.  The exhibits were well organized and the exhibit hall had a great layout.

I'd like to include my thanks. This was my first AFTE meeting and everyone made me feel very welcome.
Also a big thanks to Bruce Moran and John Murdock for their hard work on the Defensible Criteria workshop! Well done and very informative.

Many thanks to everyone on the Host Committee, the hotel staff, the vendors, exhibitors, presenters, instructors, the AFTE Board, etc.  What a fantastic venue for AFTE 2007!!

Charles, Heather, Ray, Lannie, & Laura...when are you getting your new facility so that north Texas can host an AFTE conference?  I need to know in advance so that I can move!!!!!

I just want to say thank you on behalf of the entire AFTE 2007 host committee for all the thanks and gratitude.  This is what makes it all worth it in the end.

I was confident that once everyone got here (had no idea it would end up being so many), that all of you would enjoy the hotel, the city, and everything the city had to offer, literally right outside the door.  It sounds like you all took advantage of this and enjoyed yourselves.

Also, on a personal side, I am happy that everyone enjoyed the technical program (minus the 3 statistical papers in a row...however, there was a method to the madness).  Bruce, John, Nancy, and myself worked very hard to ensure that we put on the best technical program possible and I think we acheived that and glad everyone who came to the conference was able to walk away with new information and knowledge.  That is the point after all.

Again, thank you to all who came and visited our beautiful city.  It is the people who attend that make an AFTE conference and I was happy to see everyone, visit with some old friends and make some new ones along the way.  Next year I should be able to actually spend more than 2 minutes talking to someone since I do not have to worry about organizing anything...yeah!!!

Look forward to seeing you all in Hawaii
