Great job last night. I hope others add to this thread as well. I have almost no negative/constructive feedback. I thought I was going to suggest that you have a timer to help people keep on time–but I think everyone did really well. Sure, a few were longer than necessary and I think some could have benefited from questions during the presentation–but all in all, it worked very well. The one suggestion, though, is perhaps just hook up one computer (to speakers too–though that wasn’t necessary last night) instead of having everyone switch out their computer. If something needed to get copied on to that master computer then you could do that in advance. The x-code dude (snappy cards) would have had a tough time… and btw, yay for actual code views from him and Shaun (even if we didn’t get all geeky).
Anyway, for more positive notes, what I thought went GREAT:
–ample of socializing time before and AFTER the event. That made it worth the trip.
–silent audience. Not only was everyone respectful (by remaining quiet) but the physical setup made it unlikely that anyone would be talking during the presentations.
If I had to find more negatives I’d be nitpicking–like chairs or nicer projector… but all in all I think it went great. Thanks to the presenters and to the hosts and sponsors.
