Just wanted to send out a quick thank you to you and the Safe Systems staff for a great conference. It was very helpful to meet the folks that I'll be working with.
Besides the loads of regulatory and technical information, I was educated by a fellow customer to the "Real meaning of the lyrics to Sweet home Alabama", and was properly trained in the usage of "Y'all" and "fixin to".
Thanks Again,
Aaron Mar, True North Federal CU
Let me say thanks for putting together a great conference. It was very informative and I met some really great people.

I enjoyed the conference very much. (Not use to so much pampering.) I thought you all did an excellent job! I really enjoyed Salina's daughter's video. And the food was really good. Brendan McGowan had an interesting presentation that I really enjoyed.
Wismer Hart, Guardian Bank
I just wanted to thank you for a great conference. I feel like a learned a lot and made many great business connections. All of the hard work everyone at Safe Systems put in is much appreciated. I was also thoroughly impressed with your ability to run such a wonderful (perhaps TOO wonderful...) hospitality room. That was great fun and a nice way to wrap things up. Thank you again for everything.

I was pleasantly surprised with the content of the conference. I think I took the most away from Brendan's presentation. I also was very impressed with the content from Matt Riley, Scott Galvin and of course, the Compliance Guru himself, Tom Hinkel.
