"We just received an order from [a major retail outlet] in Portland, because they saw us at the FTF Expo!"
"As always I felt rejuvenated and charged up being in a room full of fair traders! There was lots of great information shared and I had the opportunity to
network with many new folks!"
"The caliber of the workshops and presenters was fantastic! I learned so much."
"FTF is the most open and friendly group of businesses - willing to collaborate and improve themselves. The conference was well-planned and executed with great participation from a diversity of people. More retailers should come!"
"So many of us get bogged down with the everyday running of our businesses... [but] being here was inspiring and encouraging!"
"Most useful (and entertaining) information about what to expect in a retail business in 30 minutes. EVER. Candi was great!"
