Guest Quotes:

Traci: On what CSM has too offer “I think we’ve got a lot of things for, for different people who have different interests”

James: On getting ready to attend CSM “the number one thing is to take the time to prepare…it becomes a pretty mad game of Tetris to try and figure out where you’re gonna go and when, but that little bit of preparation really, really pays off”

Colleen: “Another really good reason to come down, to come down to the exhibit hall if you have an inkling of wanting to do a little bit more…you can come find out and do that little bit more so that you can be part of the change.

Kim: “Isn’t it true, I mean, the networking piece of it is, So much fun. And I have several friends. The only time I see them is once a year at C S M. And so I always call it same time next year. And it’s like it’s, we pick up right where we left off…And so I think that is the networking piece is probably my most favorite part.”

Sharon: On the Oxford debate: “Please don’t let the word debate make you think this is gonna be some dry stuffy thing. Or if you’ve seen like forensic debates and documentaries where it’s like we’re trying to talk super fast and make all these points. Oxford style debates are nothing like that. They’re intended to be fun and have some audience participation.”

Katie: On what to expect from the debate: “We definitely have props, we have costumes as well. And like I said, you know people who are going to be in first two rows. You may wanna bring a poncho for yourselves.”
