“I just wanted to take the time to send a quick email and commend you all on such a great show yesterday.  I can imagine these events take a great amount of work to pull off and it is clear you and your team did a great job.  For it to be your first and everything to run so smoothly was really impressive.   Great job and looking forward to next year! ”
