I wish that the sales pitches would be limited to 10 minutes and the topics that are of interest to us and what we do, extended beyond 20 minutes. My favorite Chairperson was Mike Shaw. I wish he would have chaired the entire event.

The conference was good and enjoyable but I felt that many of the topics of discussion were misleading when they were supplier led. What sounded like an exciting topic ended up being a sales plug for the supplier's solution.

I thoroughly enjoyed this conference and got a LOT out of it, BUT... Two things... 1. Providing our contact information to the vendors prior to the conference is rather frustrating, and understanding if they are paying for this aspect I understand yet don't appreciate not having the choice to decide if you are able to or not. 2. Some of the presentations need to be vetting prior to ensure they aren't a complete sales pitch. There were more than 2-3 instances where I walked out of a session due to the fact that it was completely non-informational and only about the benefits of their own product. Other than those two things, great conference! Thanks!

I believe the conference could have been done in 2 days. While there was a lot of material provided, the participant sessions were too short to get into the specifics. I would have liked more detail about how to negotiated with the suppliers and what terms and conditions to include in my agreements to better protect our company. The vendor engagements were good also but some of it was very repetitive (RiminiStreet presented 3 times with essentially the same message).

First time attending. Pleased with the conference - much better than the Gartner conference. Great location (hotel\facilities) More seating for breakfast\lunch was needed. There were duplication of sessions\presentations by Pallisaide and Rimini Street. Too much sales. Color code badges: Attendee vs Sponsor Interactive round tables needed to be spread out more and perhaps into 2 rooms. It was way too loud. Would like to see more advance topics i.e RPA \ licensing with digital transformation. Excellent networking opportunities. Best element is the people and networking. Love the app!
