Good information and networking

Great industry networking and informative panel discussions

The speakers, presentations, round tables - all done well and on point. Everything kept to the time table -- job well done. Conference rooms were nice size for the events and set up with enough room - maybe a little undersized? My suggestions for improvement: Hotel - was lacking - rooms were not very clean and the (ha!) facilities repairs and upgrades were shoddily done - ironic. I had higher expectations of a Marriot and am wondering if someone actually walked through and checked out the facility before booking it. There were not many "higher quality" food choices to eat in the area. When we walked to look for restaurants - the ones recommended by the front desk were out of business or were "chain restaurants". Breakfast should be including a source of protein - not just breads and fruit (all sugars) -- lunches had enough variety that most people could find something to eat - however, you should consider asking people for dairy/gluten/peanut or other allergies/intolerances - I was trying to eat to fit my dietary restrictions and was in some discomfort by the end because there must have been gluten in some items that didn't look like there was. (You could also ask next hotel to indicate with little signs by each dish - I've seen that before - it's very helpful) . So kudos for great content on the conference - 5 stars -- I'd rate the facility/meals/rooms at 3 stars.

great conference, attendees and content.

Overall much better than I anticipated. Was impressed with the presentations and the engagement of the attendees. Good to be among peers and to hear what the challenges are along with the solutions. Two feedback points: 1. Please make known in the future as soon as possible when people drop out and the impact on the schedule. I just would have liked to have know the sustainability roundtable at the end was drastically cut back as I had adjusted my schedule to stay for that. 2. In my presentation I wish I would have known there was a firm deadline to stop. I should have asked but assumed with nobody behind me there would be time for some questions even if I ran over and was told in December that I could run over . Just an improvement point for the future. Overall though very good event and it was very much worth my time to attend and that is the key point. I believe others feel the same way. Please contact me with any questions. Thanks.
