As one of last year's attendees wrote, "Thank you for introducing me to the fabulous world of the Grove Park Inn and the National Arts and Crafts Conference. I thoroughly enjoyed the weekend, learned a lot and met many very interesting people. I must tell you that this has been the most organized and easy conference that I have ever been part of. I am very impressed by (the) attention to detail. Thank you for such a great experience!"
