Innovators of the Web Conference

“CASCADE SF has become a must-attend event series in the Bay Area for designers/front end devs. Andi’s got a knack for pulling together all the key ingredients for top-notch educational events: cool venues, giveaways, relevant sponsors and of course, great speakers. My company has sponsored several of her events, and she’s been a pleasure to work with from start to finish. She’s very responsive to one-off requests and goes out of her way to make sure your company gets the most out of being involved.”

Amy Ziari
Director of Marketing at ZenCash

“Andi is an outstanding creative individual as well as a very talented technical resource. We’ve worked together at several Adobe events and Andi is always on top of things during the planning stages. When the day of the event arrives, I am always shocked at how smoothly everything runs (I wish I could be as prepared as she is for my Creative Suite Lovers events). I would highly recommend Andi as a business associate and colleague and look forward to doing more events with her in the future.”

Kelly McCathran
Public Speaker and Evangelist of the San Francisco Design Community

"Andi organizes really great events with enlightening speakers. She does an extraordinary job of marketing events as well as design for technical and traditional channels. If I had to put together an event and/or conference centered around tech or startup related design, Andi would be the first person contacted on my list."

“I’ve consistently been impressed with the high quality of CASCADE’s presentations. Andi is professional and knowledgeable. She enjoys what she does, and it comes through in the quality of her work.”

Estelle = awesome and brilliant. Great talk.

Paul Grock
Web Designer / Developer at IGN Entertainment

Great presentation, very professional and well structured. Came at me a little fast, but that’s primarily because I’ve been out of the loop for a couple of years and I’m just getting back into web development. If things were a just a little bit more introductory, I would have given five stars. I got the impression that there is a heavier lean towards CSS experts in the group, so it’s understandable. Also, bonus points for having the session recorded so that it can be replayed later.

“Cascade SF (organized by the indefatigable Andi Galpern) attracts some of the most talented people in SF so that they can share their knowledge with the community. Andi also organizes high-calibre events in the Bay Area, and there's always a delightful surprise at her events."
