This was my first time attending the conference and I was very appreciative of the warmth and openness of everyone I met. The volunteers, artists, and presenters were all so very welcoming and engaging.

To the wonderful team at ANW: Let me say that I was very impressed with the overall vibe at the event. It was friendly, welcoming, professional and inspiring and I think that comes from the organization behind the event and the people tasked with the operations. I remember having questions before I even applied to showcase and from that first question to the closing of the event, mine was a great experience.
