It’s a great event. I have been in this business for 10 years and I have developed an enormous amount of contacts throughout the Caribbean, the Bahamas, up and down Noth-east and it has taken 10 years to do that. Here with YARE I do that in 4 days! So… it’s very good!

I just wanted to pass on my thanks for the event. I’ve been involved in the industry for nearly 4 years now, and have attended numerous events. Of them all, YARE was certainly the best. The B2C part was the main one for us and I’m confident this will generate a lot of business for me.
