Some things that I liked during the conference:

  • SMS broadcast - it was not that intrusive and I kinda like the positive words meant for the committee members

  • Good talks! Covering developers, community and the IT executives

  • Excellent efforts from the volunteers

  • Free lodging (and food) the whole conference period - hehehe

  • Free goodies all around


Things I didn't like much:

  • Internet connection sucked


Some stuff I noticed:

  • Nobody was in charged of making sure the tracks started on time - no bell man -> sessions started late -> went to lunch late

  • I remember lots of people asking "Where is Manhattan V???" for Executive Download tracks

  • I couldn't join most of the talks

  • More people in Developer track than the rest - usually full house and more
