Who attended?

  • 382 attendees
    • “ Enjoyable presentations, well paced and kept on schedule, I'll definitely come to the next event. ”
    • “ I'd have to say this was one of the better NY Tech Meetups. The ideas and presentations seemed more original than at previous events. Daylife looked especially promising, definitely worth investigating further. I thought the animation technique that was demonstrated was interesting, and I like the idea of having someone demo something other than Yet another So-Called Web 2.0 Social Networking Site. Finally, discussing the new Apple iPhone was a great idea since it is newsworthy and significant to the tech community. Perhaps, whenever there is important news related to technology, it could be included in a brief discussion at the end of the meeting. ”
    • “ Presentation of ChangingThePresent was great ”
    • “ Good turnout and some good presentations. Would have liked a better organized networking session at the end. ”
    • “ Presentations are too short. Give the presenters at least 10 minutes. Five minutes is too short for a time to convey the necessary information. It would also help if Scott did a thorough introduction of each presenter - clearly stating their name, their background, their company, the background of their company and the name and purpose of the product BEFORE they the talk begins. Otherwise there is no context for the presentation. One presenter even stated 'a lot of you have been hearing a buzz about ...' - hot flash, most of us haven't even heard of your company or product - and THOSE are the people you are presumably there to tell them about it. If the basic precepts of 'Communication 101' were followed it would make the meetup a much more valuable experience for the audience. ”
    • “ This was my first meetup and it was awesome! There's lots of creativity there. One suggestion: On the website mention the length of the event and also mention where the after party will be. Cheers! ”
    • “ Best one yet ”
    • “ Great energy level ”
    • “ My first meetup - very cool. ”
    • “ fantastic way to see some new and cool things coming out in this world. ”
    • “ A very cool concept as to how a meetup should be run. Props to the organizers. ”
    • “ Worked well. There needs to be some sort of running Speaker Timer so the speakers know how much time is left. ”
    • “ I walked out thinking of new possibilities. Loved the ideas/businesses presented! ”
    • “ Fantastic pacing... great atmosphere... very informative ”
    • “ Teally good engagement and demos - great products. As "areas for improvment"...I'd like to see wireless mikes for audience questions as well as having the meeting start on time ”
    • “ Great. Well balanced and seemed to flow well. ”
