> the organization was perfect
was really not considering this wasn't a free event/meetup and had plenty of big sponsors.
Sessions got delayed by 10/15/20 even 30 minutes continuously, including the opening and closing keynotes on day 1 and 2 (!!). On day 2 it was very disappointing to show up on time in the morning and being prevented from even entering the room because all of a sudden the keynote was going to start 30 minutes late (which was really more like 40).
The main room had a ridiculous single file entrance/exit, food was ok on day 1 but disappointing on day 2 (little sandwiches). Lots of noise coming from regular visitor to the museum and even from people just walking past the venue since the main room had glass walls directly to the outside.
Also having day 2 on a national holiday with lots of families visiting the museum wasn't a great idea re noise.
As I mentioned: I'm nitpicking but it had to be said
- eloycoto 12y agoOk, by steps: - Ok, delayedtalks. Was the first time that make this conference, I think that it's normal and no problem for me. I met interesting people in these delays. Delayed flight is worse from my point of view. - Food of friday. Ok small sandwitches, agree. But I'm working in UK, for me this is the normal lunch. - Noise, yes friday Nemo was busy. While I was in the talks I didn't hear anything from outside. Sounds was good and clear, but busy in shared areas with a lot of childrens. - About the main room, yes only one entrance. I agree with that.
- apolini1 12y agoAgree with most your points. Thanks for the rather mild "nitpicking". Honestly - it helps us make the event better for the next time.
