Everyone was incredibly helpful throughout the entire process. The University gave me a significant number of issues during the planning/paying stages of the event and each time the AAE Team was understanding and made the necessary adjustments. Maysoon was great!

"On behalf of the APC team and all of the attendees, we want to express our sincere appreciation for your terrific keynote presentation. We felt it was our most successful conference to date! The audience LOVED you! You connected with the audience the minute you walked onstage and held their attention the entire presentation. Not only did you deliver humor they all enjoyed, but you served as a source of inspiration and motivation. A standing ovation says it all, and you received a rousing one. Also, thank you for staying and talking to so many attendees after your keynote. You certainly were the PERFECT choice for our conference!"
