very good facilitator, who stayed on course

I liked how it was not super overwhelming like bigger conferences can tend to be. The speakers were engaging (I liked how they were mostly interactive, and not just talking at us), and there was a good mix of topics to attend.

We enjoyed the vendors and the speakers very much. All expressed the importance of having a detail plan for the process whenever taking the step of using AI. However, since the functions and changes are so new, there was not as much as I was hoping to hear on implementation success, advice, and uses. Seemingly just more focused on process improvement and how they intend to utalize AI. which was beneficial and intend to use back home, but much more appreciated speaking with the attended vendors and am excited to speak more with them as we to begin to make the changes in our processes and department.

This Conference was well organized and the content was well-structured.

Overall, the conference was a well-coordinated and valuable experience. The organizers did a great job bringing in engaging speakers and creating meaningful networking opportunities throughout the event. I would give the even 5 stars if all sessions had clear, actionable takeaways. Additionally, the Epcot dinner was nice, but there wasn’t enough seating to accommodate all attendees.

Very very well organized! Not too busy, but also not too free-ranging with development. Sessions were full of great content and altogether well thought out. My only feedback would be less paper-based activities & moving tables. Day 1 was tough getting off a plane and getting settled in only to have to re-settle to a new table every time we got back from a break to a new speaker. Those speakers used a lot of print outs, which would have been best sent in the handout bags instead of sat on the tables. There were not enough handouts to go around even with relocation.

The location was great, and the program was a good overall introduction to AI. I would have liked to have seen more detail on specific recruiting strategies, but it was a very good start. I have requested more information from the organizer, and she has been very happy to provide me with the additional information that I am seeking.

This is for the EEE conference, which I thought was a very good conference. A few suggestions for next time: - because it's a smaller conference (which I love), it would be great to offer participants a searchable database to find each other afterwards - even a simple form to enter your name and LinkedIn info would be good. - it would also be great to intersperse more interaction / conversation opportunities. The day got long with being talked to while sitting in those chairs, so a lightly structured roundtable session would have been nice to have once or twice. - the workshop style sessions were the most helpful to me - the faciltator from Scotland (blanking on her name!) who had us writing about our own employee onboarding - anything to help us quickly apply what was being talked about to our own organizations was really engaging - There were two accessibility "oops" I thought I'd pass along. First, the facilitator who told people to stand up if ... (I wouldn't do that - not everyone can comfortable stand up). And second, the HCI research session about employee engagement - the colors on the slides made the information REALLY hard to read. Someone who was color deficient or blind would never be able to read those. - I also would have appreciated a group walk or 5 minute stretch or yoga or something midday to have some social connection and also to get out of those rooms! - the food and service were really great and much appreciated!
