Feedback for the
2011
SEAMS Fall Conference
“It
was a great meeting.
This was my
second time attending,
and I made additional
contacts building on
those I made last
spring.
I sometimes
work with apparel
companies, and SEAMS
and its network have
proven to be a
valuable resource for
me.
If
you are in the apparel
business and not
participating in
SEAMS, you’re
missing out.”
Ted
Campbell, SC
Department of Commerce
“For
me, the conference was
great. Not
only did I make a
couple of new friends,
but I have also
started doing business
with three or four new
SEAMS customers. It
has only been a couple
of weeks since the
conference and I am
sure that number will
increase as I get a
chance to get in touch
with more SEAMS
companies.. Thank you
for the time and
effort that went into
making the SEAMS
Conference a success
for me and the company
I work for.”

“SEAMS
always puts on a good
meeting, and I think
this last meeting was
the largest fall
gathering ever.
I believe the
big draw is location,
location, location for
the fall meetings.”
Wayne
Wilson, International Apparel Search
“I
wanted to let you know
how impressed I am
with your
organization.
This was my
first year attending
your conference and I
certainly did not know
what to expect.
I attend a lot
of conferences, and
most of them do not
have a forum for open
communication between
members and vendors.
This was not
the case in Isle of
Palms.
I was welcomed
by everyone and
immediately felt
comfortable with the
group.
I found the
culture of open
communication among
the members very
refreshing, and it
gave the newcomers
like myself a very
comfortable feeling.
I had a chance
to meet most of the
members, and I’ve
followed up with many
of them since the
conference.
All
a vendor can ever hope
for is a fair chance
to present their
proposition, and
everyone at SEAMS has
afforded me that
opportunity.
I want to thank
you for all your
efforts in helping me
feel welcome.”
Chuck
Pendleton, UPS Freight
“This
was my first meeting.
I received a
very friendly welcome
as a new member. I
found the agenda and
speakers addressed
very meaningful topics
in a concise manner.
It was well
worth attending.”
Joe
Turino, Leventhal, Ltd.
“I
thought the fall
conference was well
put together.
The best part
of this conference was
the chance to network
and gather information
pertaining to
others’ takes on
current movements in
our industry.”
Terry
Earle, Patriot Outfitters, Inc.
“I
want to thank you for
the opportunity to
participate in your
fall meeting and
applaud you for
organizing an
outstanding event.
It was truly
energizing.
The turnout and
quality of attendees
was excellent.
Thanks again,
and I hope to attend
more meetings.”

Duncan, TC²
“Thank
you, SEAMS, for
inviting The Daniels
Group to the fall
conference!
The location,
services and
amenities, and outings
were top notch, but
the REAL value was
what’s at the core
of SEAMS mission: to
support the resurging
U.S. sewn products
industry through
membership networking
and collaboration, and
that was plentiful at
this conference!”
Mike
Van Gorder, The
Daniels Group
“We
had a wonderful time
exploring historic
downtown Charleston,
catching up with old
friends and making new
friends.
Charleston
was a wonderful venue
for the SEAMS meeting
for the guests.
Eric Miller arranged
the horse drawn
carriage tour.
Our carriage driver
gave us such a good
and entertaining
perspective on the
history of
Charleston
. Violet Diemer
arranged a lovely wine
and cheese social
which was so nice for
getting to know some
of the new guests as
well as reminisce with
old friends. We
encourage spouses
(male and female) to
join us at future
SEAMS events! We
had fun!”
