What our conference guests had to say

Conference recap

"This was my first time at an in-person Reuse Minnesota conference. I've worked in related industries for a number of years, but this conference gave me a chance to connect with a lot of new people. I made some valuable connections. I'm looking forward to next year."

"This conference was one of the best I've attended in a long time. You all did such a great job putting it together! The venue worked well."

"The lunch was fantastic as were the chocolate chip cookies in the afternoon!"

"I really appreciated hearing about the necessity to support the BIPOC community in their efforts to build sustainable businesses with a reuse component."

"I appreciated the opportunity to recharge and destress and clear my head after the whirlwind of getting to the site, interacting with many new people and ideas!"

"I loved the venue because the layout was so simple and traffic flowed so easily between sessions. I also loved that there was a cafeteria with a "staff" that served anything but cafeteria food (they did amazing)!! Special kudos to whomever thought it was a good idea to let attendees take leftovers home - what a concept!! Would love to see the conference in the same place next year. I also thought the variety of speakers was phenomenal which made it VERY difficult to choose which one to attend!"
