I thought the first day's presentations were quite good, as were some in the morning of Day 2. The afternoon sessions on Day 2 were a bit weaker, which I suspect is aligned with the drop off in attendence by then. I think more case studies with practical examples would be helpful, I had a sense that most of the people there were pretty experienced as to process, but the creation of metrics and innovative solutions is perhaps better presented through actual case studies. But overall, I thought it was a very useful conference.

The content and discussions were on topic and very well presented/discussed. The accommodations were good but there were not enough scheduled breaks and it was disrupting to have people taking breaks on their own at all the different times.

Thank you for the opportunity to meet other individuals from different industries and areas of Procurement. The topics provided were great discussion points and shared great insight to different approaches for fantastic projects outcomes and resolutions to ongoing 'Procurement-related' issues. I thought the areas of discussion diverted from the primary topic, Facilities, from time-to-time, but it was still helpful as it was still applicable to my Procurement skillset and practices. A suggestion for the future would be to ensure breakout discussions are not led by individuals who are facing current problems, but more so on a proctor basis -- I noticed discussions would lean towards their issues. Another suggestion is to have smaller breakout discussions (like the think tank) led by the starting keynote speakers (i.e. a Think Tank / Case Study led by Jill Zunshine with HP or the Executive from TMNA Procurement) as this would serve as a wonderful platform for attendees to speak directly with a presenter that is of most interest.

Great speakers with so much information to bring back to our own business!

I found the speakers engaging and relevant however, the schedule was a bit too aggressive and cut off valuable Q&A conversation. The food was terrible.
