A lot of Sales pitches. A lot of useful info. Food was subpar. Breaks on last day afternoon could be shortened or eliminated. Moor tables in hall to consume food vs pushed into solutions zone would be good.

Somehow work in some structured time to share strategy and strategy challenges between customers.

I was underwhelmed the first day, especially with the poor presentation that I attended; however, things picked up on the subsequent days. It is a bit pricey for the value that I gained.

Sessions were a little lackluster, and the breakout sessions were a little unorganized. I think having a networking session at the very beginning of the conference kick-off would be more productive and would foster better relationships. Also did not appreciate a few of the sleazy staffing vendors present...had to make it a point to keep my head down to avoid some of them.

General sessions were ok, breakout sessions left something to be desired. One breakout had a presenter that didnt know the topic he was supposed to be presenting, so it was more of a group effort. I expected to be taught, and so did the other attendees, so it turned into a group discussion on what we don't know. The best breakout, a SaaS contract discussion, was the best of the event, but only lasted 20 minutes while it easily could have lasted an hour. Too many 'panel' general sessions, which usually only give high-level perspective
