See you next year!!” “Not being able to come would be like cutting off my air supply.” “It was really fantastic.” “Always a great conference!” “I thank God I was able to come again this year and pray that thousands upon thousands will be able to benefit directly or indirectly from this conference and your efforts.” “The most profound use of an extraordinarily talented collection of Baha’i artists. The best performance of Baha’i musicians since the World Congress – thank you so very much!” “My understanding of the connection between the core activities and SED has greatly increased.” “My family comes every year. We always find it inspiring and interesting.” “I am getting a much clearer understanding of sustainable development and the actions I need to take.” “This is my favorite Baha’i conference.” “I loved the focus on climate change. This was so desperately needed. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!” “The highlight of my year!!” “The most important thing I am taking away from this conference is the transformation of my son.” “Please make sure that this conference is sustainable. This was my first time coming, and I want to attend it every year. It was so fulfilling and full of information.” “It’s the one I do not want to miss!” “This conference to me was the most important as far as changing directions. It was great.” |
