“The site was technically flawless, registrants were able to register online and the event quickly sold-out. With the large amount of interest, we had to begin a waiting list to handle late registrants,” said Chapel Hill-Carrboro Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Aaron Nelson.
“We are pleased to continue our relationship and serving the Chamber’s web development needs,” said David Minton, Managing Partner for DesignHammer. “we hope local leaders will learn more about this event and be prompted to participate” Minton added.
