Max Reid:

First, Hi Emma!

And B, There were a lot of great people and experiences at the conference, but what was your favorite experience of the weekend outside of the conference itself.

Favorite experience:

Obviously hanging out with you guys and Emma and nick and I guess Braden too.

My favorite experience from this year was all the new friends we left with, both makers and brands, and Jeff from Makers Way stuffing money in my pockets for….beer?

Adam Barnett:

I'm a patron, you have to read this: 

I, the current speaker, had the great pleasure of seeing Adam in person at Workbench Con. It was the greatest part of the year so far, and won't be topped until I see him again at Maker Camp. Possibly tied with Pete and Emma's baby.

P.s. what was your favorite class and booth at wbc?
