I found the topics and the representation of the field to be excellent in breadth of knowledge, timely (Xmas on the way) and fun.

A little disappointing that Illiana didn't make it, but it was a great panel and very informative. Had never heard of Easy to Assemble, the Ikea-sponsored video series that Illiana created, so it was interesting to see the first 4 episodes.

I enjoyed the event and wished that the panel would have brought their products to see them in person (well the ones that had hardware).

The Video after was well done and funny! The "I am 40 and I'm bitter" song is still in my head! Loved it!

Easy to Assemble follows Illeana Douglas as she quits her Hollywood career and goes to work at IKEA Burbank in an attempt at a ‘normal life.’ However your past is often more difficult to leave behind than you think.
