    • “ The first panel was okay. The presentations by startups were awful. First of all, everything started late. Then each presenter had to hook up his or her own laptop, which led to lots of problems and many delays. Surely you can have them preload their slides onto a master laptop for quick transitions between speakers. At least three companies in the program failed to show up. This is unforgivable. Many of the speakers were poorly prepared, and one was completely god-awful. Finally, most of these companies had vacuous businesses with no technical innovation at all. They were an embarrassment to Plug and Play. If you wanted to impress investors with the quality of startups you take it, or, worse, showcase, you had the opposite effect. Everyone at my table was rolling their eyes at how ridiculous most of these efforts were. I don't want Plug and Play to get a reputation as a place that houses bozos, or my company's reputation will be diminished, and you will lose customers. ”
    • “ I would like to suggest some mechanisms to make networking easier. I. Maybe you can use some colored tags to designate (a) service providers including lawyers, accountants, and recruiters, (b) engineering entrepreneurs, (c) business leader entrepreneurs, (d) engineering team member, (d') would-be engineering team member, (e) business team member, (e') would-be business team member, (f) VC, (g) Angel and (h) Consultant. II. Shobeir and Saeed always have great information to share. I would like to see in as a power point slide that could be posted for later viewing. III. A list of the attendees with the above codes would be nice. ”
    • “ One of the best evetns to feel inspired, get connected with innovation and so many learning opptys..Got some answers to pressing questions during the keynote presentation by the Meebo Executive..Great event overall! ”
