  • “I have mixed feelings about it. I am exhibiting for the first time and I was not aware that it was a very "deal" oriented kind of venue so for most people, the goods I brought with me were not interesting. I did however, manage to get my hands on some good deals so I am glad that for attended. I will make sure to be more prepared in future conclaves with the right type of goods. Connection wise, I am very happy that I met face to face with other polygon members and hope to deal with them in the future.” - A.L

  • "As a lifetime Polygon member, I knew a lot of old members but I was pleased to meet new members as well. I was able to make sales with new members and was able to buy merchandise at reasonable prices. It was mainly cash and carry which was a big plus. Saturday night was a lot of fun with lots of food that seemed to be accommodate all. It was well attended and had overall positive experience." - E.F
