Thank You All!

We would like to give a sincere and gracious thank you to everyone involved with ConvergeSE 2013. From the attendees, who are some of the nicest, friendliest and thoughtful people we’ve ever met, to the volunteers who showed up to form the small army that made everything go so smoothly. I don’t think i’m over exaggerating to use the word magical to describe the experience this past weekend in Columbia, SC. It takes the perfect storm of people to make something like this happen and we would just like to say thank you to as many people as we can recall:

A special thank you is in order to Debi Schadel and Tracie Broom of Flock & Rally. They provided the final ingredient to Converge that we’ve been searching for.

+ Every single one of our attendees! We love you all!

There is bound to be someone we couldn’t include, because I’m terrible at remembering things, so if we’ve omitted your name please let us know, we so much want to include your name here. I think you get the picture from the list above in just how big of an endeavor Converge is. There is no way it could have been pulled off by just the three of us here at UnmatchedStyle.

We are so grateful for all of you. Thank you!
