“The Adaptive Living Expo really exceeded all expectations we had as an exhibitor! The minute the doors opened, the crowds poured in and we made so many great connections right until the doors closed. It was extremely well organized with reminder, emails leading up to the event with all of the details needed. We will 100% set up at the next Adaptive Living Expo. Huge congrats to the team at BuildAble on a successful inaugural event!”

"We recently had the privilege of participating in the 2024 Adaptive Living Expo. The event was well-organized and drew a large crowd, which says a lot about how important this topic is to folks. It was a fantastic opportunity to connect with like-minded individuals and organizations committed to improving accessibility and inclusion. Thank you for such a well-executed event—we are already looking forward to next year!"

"The event was well organized, and the communication was perfect. There was a lot of promotion, which lead to a great turn out. The visitors were shocked to see how many different exhibitors there were. I also had the opportunity to meet with other exhibitors & put together new connections, networking was a very easy thing to do when we are all on the same page to help and support the same people. I can't thank you enough for this event, it is about time someone here in Ottawa took this on, and what an amazing job you did with it!!!"
