For people attend the first time it would be helpful to know that a lot of the vendors pack up before the snack break on Day 2. I had set aside time on day 3 to meet with the vendors I wanted to talk to. Did not realize they would all be gone by then. Not a big deal but something that would be good to share on Day 1 for the folks attending the first time.

FSE was a really good event for our team this year. The attendees were more engaged than last year and we had more access to folks than even the Spring event.

Everything went well at this convention. I would love to get a copy of the UPS presentation, as well as the Casper one - I think those were the best. Thank you for the invite!

I enjoyed the conference. I wish we'd gotten more time in the round-table conversations and that we'd done that on the first day. I learned a lot from listening to other folks in my position and what they're dealing with. At times the speakers were a little 'sales-pitchy'. More time for questions.

Overall, a great opportunity to connect with other retail HR professionals and discuss the similar challenges we all face and ideas for problem solving across all disciplines of HR. I would have liked to see more roundtables and more opportunities to connect with other attendees. There were too many presentations that felt like an advertisement vs. education. Some conference attendees were disrespectful to the other attendees and presenters by working / typing loudly / talking during presentations and there was no mention of meeting rules, etiquette, or for respect of others, which became very distracting from the content we were all there to absorb.
