I loved the speakers, and the event was very interactive and I just had an overall good time.
The speakers were all really good and knew what they were talking about. They made it interactive and fun so they made sure they had our attention the entire time.
I enjoyed the topics discussed they all had the central theme of love but addressed them in different ways.
