"Once again thank you very much for the opportunity you gave us to remind the early days in France, it was a great afternoon to have all these French pionneers, founders of the main French studios, telling how they started in the business. Thank you also for all your team which was very kind, effective and professional. It was a pleasure to work with all of you."
Pierre Hénon
"Thank you so very much for all of your hard work; I am so happy that I had the chance to do this."
Leo Hobaica, CalArts
"It was, as you know, probably the best event yet. I feel almost familial about it because I have had the privilege and honor of watching FMX grow and become crucially important to the world digital community. At one of our dinners -- maybe night number two -- I experienced a moment of true revelation as I glanced at my table mates. Bay Raitt was sitting across from me, holding court about his work on Gollum. Dan Moscowitz was to my right, joining in when the conversation got around to game interactivity, and Peter Plantec was there as well. There was a fellow from Weta who used to work with Bay. And a couple of Filmakademie students. I took it all in and realized how fortunate I was to have such intimate access to so much brain power and good nature in such an intense way. And we all have you to thank."
Ed Hooks

"I just wanted to thank you for a wonderful time at fmx/09. I can honestly say I've never attended an event that was as well organized and hospitable to the speakers as this one.
