Hear! Hear! A great FEAST. And from the graying crowd I can say that I found it immensely satisfying that this was so much a program created and generated by the younger generations. And the different generations of speakers often all within most panels was excellent to witness and by a part of. The torch is passed on and grows brighter still.

And I want to shout out the names of the women on the program committee, because they were absolutely amazing to work with throughout the entire process from brainstorming a theme, to brainstorming speakers to invite (and what a fabulous job they did here, for both the keynotes and the invited panel), to the hard work of evaluating so many excellent paper/presentation proposals, to bringing to the steering committee concerns for FEAST to address (organization of Difficult Conversations, concerns regarding the whiteness of FEAST).

In addition, many FEASTies volunteered to moderate sessions and pitched in in many ways, small and large, when extra help was needed.

I was incredibly impressed by all the organization that went into it. The program was excellent as always, with wonderful keynotes and a variety of creative sessions. Thanks so much to Jean Keller and her team. I thought local arrangements were great too and especially appreciated the free airport shuttle and the van drivers' willingness to take us to other destinations. I also liked the ample breakfasts and the tea/coffee availability during the sessions. The food at the receptions was very good as well, though in such a dark corner it may have gone unnoticed by many people! > > Grateful thanks to everyone who worked on this year's conference.
