In general the comments we received where positive, here’s a summary:

• Put signs out earlier, or even the night before (my note: this would help volunteers find the place too!)
• Paying for lunch was ok
• Quality was better than expected (is that really a compliment??!)
• Requests for an open discussion session/Q&A
• More coffee
• Boxes in rooms to collect evals (we did this last year, tried central collection this year)
• Lots of complaints about the room changes (sorry, they changed Fri morning, beyond our control – but we could have done better)
• Some asked for a notepad in the bag

And Jack is working the detailed speaker scores as I write this!
