Praise for Alchemy 2016:

EO Alchemy 2016 moved me more than any other EO event I have ever attended.  Thanks to you and the committee for putting such an amazing event together.  I’m sorry I will miss the final hours, but my family and I will never forget this event. – Michael Erath, EO Arizona

I just wanted to send you a note to say thank you for the work you put into Alchemy. I was personally energized by what I’m taking back and understand how much energy goes into pulling these off.  Cheers! – David Nielsen, EO Seattle

Our chapter attendees had a wonderful time and all felt inspired by something unique and different from the various speakers. – Nanette Schunk, EO Colorado Chapter Administrator

Congrats on an amazing week, the feedback has been overly positive. I asked a couple of EO LA members who have been to a ton of Alchemy’s on a scale of 1-10 where did Arizona fall? They said 9 and that it was one of the best they had been too!! – Veronique James, EO Arizona
