Exhibitor Testimonials
Kim Vincent, co-founder, Ability Hive
“The [ } Expo really exceeded all expectations we had as an exhibitor! The minute the doors opened, the crowds poured in and we made so many great connections right until the doors closed. It was extremely well organized with reminder, emails leading up to the event with all of the details needed. We will 100% set up at the next [ } Expo. Huge congrats to the team at BuildAble on a successful inaugural event!”
Erin Patchell, co-founder, Clüdee
"We recently had the privilege of participating in the 2024 [ } Expo. The event was well-organized and drew a large crowd, which says a lot about how important this topic is to folks. It was a fantastic opportunity to connect with like-minded individuals and organizations committed to improving accessibility and inclusion. Thank you for such a well-executed event—we are already looking forward to next year!"
Sandy Alexander, Clinical Education Specialist, HealthCraft
"HealthCraft was so proud to be a sponsor of the [ } Expo and will be back next year. We enjoyed the opportunity to engage with a diverse audience and share our passion for fall prevention. We gained invaluable insights from those who truly understand the daily challenges of living with mobility limitations. The conversations we had reminded us of the profound impact that the right community services and the right products can make in the daily lives of individuals and families."
