First year so a bit of a test run. Too long lines, ie not enough space and vendors for the amount of people. We had a small problem with paying for food when we already payed for a ticket to get in. Increase the free portion sizes a touch and you will be fine.

There were long lines and not enough food. Companies involved need to have the signs displayed better so that attendees can see their faves.

It was a very nice event although being in the hospitality business for the past 38 years I do have to say that they could of organized it a lot better. Their were separate lines for each vendor and once you got on of one line you had to get in the next and the next and the next. I think they should of just had one line and went through to see everything. A lot of people skipped a few booths due to this. Orver all I really enjoyed it until the rain started. lol

My only feedback is that aside from this event being awesome...it would be better if it was held during the cooler winter months or somewhere with more shade.

Great job... do it again next year!

it was ok

Maybe next year they should do it another time of year, because besides the extreme heat, the rain spoiled the day

It was a nice outting, but an hour and thirty minutes before the event was over, some venders packed up and left. Only downfall of the event.

I arrived early and was able to visit 90% of the booths within 45 minutes. One of my friends arrived two hours after opening and left immediately due to exceedingly long lines at most booths with food. If you have an expo next year, you need more booths. Also, pouring rain early in the day was a deterrent to many who may have attended. How about rescheduling for November to April instead?!

Read negative remarks on meet up. I got there early. Paid for 1 1/2 hrs at a meter. Got right in with "ticket bud". Found vendors friendly, informative & generous with samples. I enjoyed my short time there. Was ready to go after 1 1/2 hrs due to heat & crowds. It is S. Fl in summer!
