Parks conference goers, fans, and a few dignitaries from other countries all enjoyed the keynote speech by Charlotte Morgensen, director of the Jenkin Donaghe INC company. The speech brought the crowd to its feet, with an ovation that lasted for nearly 6 minutes. The following speaker, Meredith Pedrogo, a long time conference support, echoed much of what was said during the key-note, along with a few other important ideas. Mayor Sophia Muta, who spearheaded the original parks committee that brought the conference to town, spoke joyfully about the boom for local business: “Restaraunts, Night Clubs, and the mall have all benefitted greatly. Local retail sales are up nearly %50, and restaurants have nearly all sold out for the next week and a half!” “Wow!!!”, said Boike Kraus, a first time conference goer, “I’m so thankful that many parks industry heavyweights took time out to come and talk to us. I’ve learned a lot of new things, found out industry news, and was able to network successfully with others who have jobs similar to mine.” Wieser Jellison, who spoke on the parks industry news panel, also has a prominent blog online. Wieser Jellison offered some fresh points of view from recent blog entries and website submissions. This was a refreshing review of the parks market, and was very informative. The local news media also took to the streets to get general public’s view about today’s events. Most reactions about the parks conference were positive, but a few people were not happy with the comotion created by evening party goers. “I like the idea of having a parks conference in our town, but can’t sleep at night with all them creating a rucus,” said Gallinari Water, who lives adjacent to the main facilities. “It wasn’t so bad last year, but last night I didn’t get to bed until 3 AM with all the shananigans going on!” Winborn Erebia, a well known parks marketer and former CEO of the Dollyhigh Hatchel INC firm, had a great panel discussion on the legalities of parks trade abroad. Dollyhigh Hatchel spoke briefly on current events, and then opened up the floor for Q & A from the audience. “I’m really impressed by the presentation Jankowski Scherb did about up-and-coming parks businesses. The reasoning was solid, plenty of detail was provided, and some of the conclusions were very provocative,” raved Kroes Machuga, VP of Marketing for the Rosier Ceglinski Corporate body. Some area parks commercial advertising firms also benefitted from conference attendance. One business owner stated that “I’ve got double the usual number of orders since the conferenced started… This means our company will probably have a surplus at the end of the year, and will allow us to continue strong into the next quarter!”
