<div class="envelope" align="left" style="float: none;">A few of the comments (Q5) that stood out:</div>
<div class="envelope" align="left" style="float: none;"><ul><li>Have a pre-conference every year!</li><li>Add a keynote speaker.</li><li>Closer hotels (3 mentions).</li><li>Have room monitors (for keeping time).</li><li>Add a lightning round session (in lieu of one of the poster sessions).</li><li>More networking opportunities - this person felt that "friends hang out with friends" and it was hard to approach strangers. So.........</li></ul></div>
<div class="envelope" align="left" style="float: none;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">My suggestion to that last one is to create a team building ice breaker game by placing stickers on everyone's name badges (maybe 5-8 different animals, to create 5-8 different groups - stickers placed on the badges before registration opens) and then at a specified time or event - maybe a coffee break - have everyone get into groups with the same animal sticker and solve a problem, or come with a answer to some question, etc... Or, it could be an impromptu lightning round session (maybe then leads into the actual lightning round session) and each group presents on the topic/solution... Or it could be less formal, and have some sort of swag/gift for people that were able to find all the people with the same animal sticker and take a selfie with them and post the pics to Twitter using a </span>particular<span style="font-size: 12pt;"> #hashtag...</span><br>
