Great time, But…
The overall conference was good. I enjoyed meeting and visiting with other members in the profession. The class topics were interesting and informative. However, some of the presenters were a bit dry. The content was good but delivered poorly for some. Just a couple of things to consider for future reference. First, I really enjoyed the water stations all over. I’m sure no coffee or snacks were setup outside in the hallways was strategically planned because of the hotels Coffee/Market. A compromise of some sort might have been a good bargaining tool to get the setup for the attendees. It would have been so much more convenient and it would keep people in the classroom areas as opposed to leaving the venue for these items. Class times were a bit lengthy. 45 minutes to an hour would hold attention better and give more opportunities for Q & A. I believe attendees would be more likely to engage if classes were shorter. Just build in the extra time if needed. Jail tours awesome!!! Banquets and award presentations were good. The food served was good also. The AJA After Party was huge, epic, loved it. Just don’t have classes early the next day. The above are the only suggestions I have. Thank you for the opportunity to share.
