Dave Kritzberg+1 guestThe first speaker was brilliant -- humorous, insightful, genuine; the second speaker was also very good, although not as engaging, but he knew what he was talking about and presented clearly, made up for his lack of entertainment value with a lot of hard work and experience; the third speaker was more of commercial and less connected to the spirit of things, although he apparently knew many of the people in the room. Questions were good, vibe was very good, and I plan to try to attend all these R meetups in the future.

Karen WestmontThankful that our fellows are willing to share remarkable skills and talent. As a beginning R user, quite over my head but quite useful nevertheless.
