We've had some great feedback from people who attended the event. Here's a sample of what one of our members wrote one day after the event:

“A big thanks to you guys for organizing the talk and for bringing such an interesting and inspired speaker to Edmonton. It was very refreshing to listen to someone who had not only a great sense of humour, but a very conceptual and engaging vision. I don't think there are too many designers out there who have linked their work so strongly with installation. His approach is unique, and I thoroughly enjoyed the presentation. I admit I also loved his grandfather's work :-) It was SO nice to listen to a designer from Europe. I love to a hear a broader global perspective, and have a lot of respect for someone who can see the larger picture. It was excellent to hear and see a different perspective. Big kudos to you. Loved it!”
