Good morning everyone,
Holy moly… what an event.
I’m still riding a wave of emotions from Thursday and all the incredible conversations, introductions, and moments that happened throughout the day. Everywhere I turned there was another group deep in discussion, another new connection being made, another “this is exactly what our industry needed” comment being shared.
And the kind words many of you have sent since then… wow. Thank you.
Moments like this make it very clear: something special is happening with the Poconos VRO.
Over the coming days we’ll start sending out a short surveys to attendees, speakers, sponsors, exhibitors, advertisers, and volunteers. That feedback will help us do the important after-action work so we can make next year’s event even better.
But for right now?
We’re just going to bask in the glow of a conference that truly seemed to hit the mark.
In fact, I’ve been trying to find the right words for how it feels… and I may need a thesaurus.
So here’s my current Top 10 Post-Conference Emotions List:
-
Grateful – for the people who showed up and believed in this vision
-
Proud – of what our team, volunteers, and partners pulled off
-
Relieved – because pulling off an event of this scale is no small feat
-
Inspired – by the ideas, conversations, and energy in the room
-
Encouraged – by the support for responsible STR ownership in the Poconos
-
Energized – because this momentum is real
-
Connected – seeing our community come together in person
-
Optimistic – about what comes next for this association
-
Motivated – to keep building something meaningful for this industry
-
Happy – just plain happy.
Thank you all for being part of it.
More to come soon… but for now, we’re celebrating a day that felt pretty extraordinary.
