IamLUG wants to thank the 2010 attendees for such high marks!
While we scanned, complied and read all the session and final evaluations from IamLUG 2010, one thing became clear. Statistically, everyone received enormous amounts of information, material, content and old fashioned networking. We hit some amazing ratings!I know we sat on these for a while as we attempted to recover. We wanted to reach out and share some of the results highlights and even low lights with you. Anything good or excellent we consider approval from you, the attendee and sponsor. We still read each and every comment though.
Relevance of Session Information
This hit the 100% approval mark
Speaker Quality
This hit the 100% approval mark. We thank the speakers for all the effort and time.
Registration Process
This hit the 100% approval mark. Thank the team, they worked so hard before and during
Quality and Amount of Food
This hit the 100% approval mark. We know. You all ate everything. Everyday.
Conference Hotel and Amenities
This hit 94% approval. We know some love the location and others just like. Finding the right fit for a free event is tough
Will You Recommend IamLUG to Others?
This hit 97% with no response of "No Way!", just a few in the middle. We wish this was 100% and if this was you get in touch and let us know what we can do better. Even through the anonymous form!
Will You Return Next Year?
This hit 91% with no response of "No Way!", just a few in the middle. We expect this from a user group format with the new people that attend and others that have to move and budget event travel
From the comments
What was the Best Part?
- Knowledge gained
- Being with a community that speaks the same language, sessions always give great info
- You are a mile from my job -we planned that
- Getting wide experiences from the speakers
- Cost!!! and good speakers (x 3)
- Location and talking to the speakers
- Fantastic conference!
- All the XPages info was awesome - they all thank you and did terrific
- Location and content
- What makes this better than other events is the ability to interact with the presenters and their willingness
- Very smoothly organized, scheduled and run
- Preparation, planning and improvements from last year made it even better!
- Plenty of plugs!
- Technical intensity even better than last year
- The amount of content is perfect - thank you we work hard on the agenda
What can be improved?
- Wired network for speakers - we are aware of this and the location only has wifi everywhere. The actual network switch is far away and getting runs there is tough. We are working on this.
- Didn't sleep well first night, hotel room looked at highway - we will look into closing the highway for IamLUG. Joking. The hotel sits downtown on the riverfront and one side faces an old bridge
- The wifi blocked my VPN - sorry we didn't hear of this. Please let us know
- Bandwidth issue - yes one night we had a hotel wide wifi issue most of the late night. It was open for the event hours, but the hotel itself crapped out. They are aware.
- Name tags printed two sided and bigger last names - we had two sided in year #1 and decided not to this year. We can bring that back as well as expand QR codes that we used this year
- Since when do hotels charge for Internet? They do not and it was free for your stay. If you were charged let us know. If you are just asking, we gave it for free :-)
- Get Paul Mooney back - we tried. he was being held by a strange woman called his new wife
- More sessions, Quickr and Connections would be great and websphere - we are including more each year
- I missed the Blackberry guy from last year - he decided to have a new child the exact days of the conference. We will talk to him about better scheduling
- Keynote shorter or another speaker - we run 90 minutes for intro and keynote plus direct Q&A time with the keynote, something not seen in other places.
- Don't care for the hotel, conference rooms fine but other hotel deals - we can do this but need room blocks to get deals. The hotel is all suites with free parking and wifi. Let us know what else we can do for you
- More free drinks? - we are working on this as usual, thanks
- My handwriting is terrible - we understand and will look at a class on that as well
- Blurry projectors - we were aware and got two adjusted. Will be noted and we did not see that year 1. They might have changed something.
- The snack break on Tuesday was too healthy, bring back the ice cream! - we thought about it and will debate again
Finally some quotes
I think you all did a great job. I wish I could suggest improvement but I cannot. Thanks for doing this
we are planning on being back next year already!
1st time attendee. Will recommend next year!!
Fantastic conference!
