Working Gruops, doesn´t have structure and the subject were some and we finish talk about another thing. Roundtable discussions, it was unconfortable, we can hear good the speakers in the same room everybory, and the leaders did not have all experience about the subject the panels of the day 1 and 2 doesnt have good or new information about procure, only the panels of the day 3 was very good.

There should be general talking points for the facilitators instead of "open" discussion. This created sessions with long silences and no direction. A welcome packet would have been nice and an easier way to navigate through the conference. Either tables to sit at or more tables to stand around in should have been offered for breakfast on the first day. There should be more availability of water - i.e. bottled water at every break and meal. The food left a lot to be desired.

Decent conference with some good takeaways. I thought more structured time should have went into breakouts by category with colleagues to review best practices. This would be a great benefit. Also I was disappointed not to be included in the CPO /Indirect breakouts.

Overall the event was a mixed back for me. I think I would have gotten more out of it had I had the agenda sooner for one. Some of the talks, discussions, etc. were basic for me. I would suggest listing each one on a basic scale: basic, intermediate and advanced. Additionally, it would be nice to differentiate suppliers from attendees with a different color of badge. There were times that I felt a bit cornered by some suppliers when the vast majority of what I wanted was to network with colleagues. Venue was good albeit pricey. The agenda was packet to a fault. We all have responsibilities that don't go away when we travel and this makes it difficult to stay on top of other priorities. Finally, many of your speakers were like sitting in a college lecture hall... yawn... They could use some coaching on engaging the audience when presenting.

I think that we could have utilized your lead gen tools a bit better so that we had more traction at our booth.
