In my city at last! Sadly I can't go since I can't get out of work at that time (bootstrapped startup needs money somehow...). But I hope it's great and I'll catch the tweetup next time!

Kat JaiburI arrived late, so missed the first few presenters. Caught the tail end of the ART speaker. It was interesting, but couldn't read her slides. Alicia Staley was good. Too much chatter in the back during Steve Garfield, so didn't catch a lot of what he was saying. The networking opportunity was lost because I got lost on the way there. Overall, room needs to be darker to see the screen. Staff was cordial. Food (what was left) was good. And even with all that I missed, it was a good opportunity to see a few familiar faces in a non-bar setting and to meet Alicia. So that was a win. And I think Ellen Rossano deserves praise for her efforts in pulling this together and keeping things calm when that woman fainted. I would gladly attend another Meetup like this. Especially now that I know where it is. Like the idea of having speakers, something to focus on rather than just a social get-together. So thanks!

Steve SherlockThe presentations were varied, some technical difficulty with the projections made some of them hard to view but the speakers covered well. The unfortunate medical emergency interrupted the evening. Glad she ultimately was okay. I was pleased with how the group responded, clearing the area, someone with EMT background stepping up... a good group effort to make the best of a tough situation. The networking as always is the prime reason for participating in something like this, it was great!

AlexiaEvery speaker, especially Jeff, was great except Steve Garfield. His talk wasn't engaging and his understanding of how to use video for NOW media is out-dated.
-
tallikInteresting people, compelling presentations,
good karma. Inclusive and fun. The NERD Center rocked.

Michael DurwinI thought the conference was pretty good. There were some technical issues: Slides not cued up Having to rely on a computer operator to change slides or the speaker having to sit down to change them Screen size issues Microphones too quiet At least one speaker issue: needing to refer to their slides for their presentation (not a big deal, something that comes with experience speaking) A medical emergency It seems like alot but these are really little things. I enjoyed the focus, the variety of speakers, especially the fact that they used real life scenarios and case studies not just vague theories, and the location.

I thought the speakers had relevant and timely information to share. They covered a range of subjects from business applications and uses for twitter/social media to therapy/support & new ways to use media. I appreciated that they spoke concisely and didn't veer off topic.
-
Stephen DillRemarkable, as usual. The speakers were inspired and inspiring, the venue supported a great deal of interaction, and the group came together as a whole when the unexpected happened and we all had to accommodate one person's pressing need for medical support. Amazing night!
-
Eric AndersenExcellent group of speakers and a great variety of topics! Well-organized, great location, great food/drinks, really couldn't have asked for anything more!
-
Lee WrightVery well organized in every respect. Good content. Engaging speakers. A great group of attendees. Plus food, drink, and a great space.
-
Chris PollaraGreat event put on by Jeff. It had an awesome tempo and people were captivated the whole time. I was truly touched by the two Cancer survivors. Keep me in the loop on future events.
