WIN '09 Event Feedback Survey

[ON BEHALF OF CARL NIEDNER]
I'm very grateful to you and your team for an outstanding event. WIN'09 completely reset my thinking about the way a Corvallis event could run, to say nothing of the nature of innovation itself.

Brilliant, all the way around. And I know you and your gang worked
even harder than the previous year to make it all happen -- I hope you
get a little while to bask in pride at what you've done! I'm looking
forward to next year's event.

I do have one small item of feedback. The event now has so much going
on that scheduling must be a nightmare. However, it was tough for me
to have to give up the Innovation Panel discussion (fascinating topic, speakers, and a couple of friends on the panel) in order to attend to
our booth when the customers were admitted. As it happened, I got to
the hall a few minutes late after the keynote address, and missed a
couple of people I should probably have greeted. I'm not sure there's

an easy way to do this, but if there's a way to have it possible to catch keynote, panel discussion and exhibit time in the future, that
would be great. But that may not be possible, and it may just be the
price we have to pay for having a rich schedule. On the plus side, one

of the excellent features of the schedule was having Ignite after the exhibit hours (though an extra fifteen minutes buffer there would have been good, too).

But, all in all, it was a great event -- completely head and shoulders
above the previous ones, which were pretty good themselves. Please
accept my thanks, and pass on my congratulations to your team!

I enjoyed the event very much. I would have stayed for Ignite if it was earlier. Thanks for putting together a great event.

Loved the whole show! I liked the way it came together and have heard nothing but positive comments. A very enjoyable and worthwhile event with a lot of energy. The keynote speaker was tops and more of his background make a good draw.

The event as a whole was good and worthwhile. I was dissappointed that I was unable to get a ticket to the Ignite portion of the event.

I was not expecting the Ignite Corvallis sessions to be as entertaining (Train Porn), informative (a reporter giving tips on breaking the "tyranny" of editors) or as moving (Katherine Cleland). It was the most engaging hour I have ever spent at a technology fair. Next year let's get those videos up ASAP so I can share them while my mind is still abuzz with what I learned at WIN.

I very much enjoyed the key note speaker and the panel discussion. I would have liked the panel discussion to have lasted longer so more questions could be answered and more information disseminated.

Hi - I really enjoyed the event, Ignite as well as the trade show; I was on the "beer bus" from Portland, and I know everyone who came down on the bus had a great time. Thanks again!
