Testimonials

"Dynamic and engaging-- not your usual conference!"

​

"Good conversation with great people."

​

"Honest discussion about challenges, sharing of ideas, range of models represented among speakers and in the audience."

 

"I loved meeting all the other great folks working in the shared kitchen / incubator space!"

​

"There was such a variety of views, concepts, and experience. I felt I could find an answer to any question if I found the right person. Everyone was so open and honest, it created a very comfortable environment for sharing. It was also great to be in a room where I didn't have to explain what a food incubator is."

​

"This was such an incredible learning experience and I am so proud to be part of it."

​

"This was so valuable to me. The opportunity to hear what others are doing and how their businesses are run was eye-opening. There were so many variations of my small business model that I was not aware of. It inspired me to level up my game!"
