If you attended the "Gizmos and Gadgets" activity during Special Interest Night at the AAW Symposium in St. Paul last month, I would like to know whether it was a worthwhile session, and if participants got useful information from the presentations. It was estimated that there were at least 120 meeting participants in the audience (....perhaps up to 150 or more??), and I am hoping there are at least a few in this group that attended the session who can provide some evaluation and recommendations about this SIN activity.
Unlike demonstrators of regular rotations (who get evaluated by symposium participants) and receive a summary of responses for their demonstration, those organizing Special Interest Night sessions do not get any formal feedback as to the content, interest in, and value of the sessions they organize.
Some have asked me if we will do another "Gizmos and Gadgets" session next year at the 2012 AAW Symposium in San Jose. Before committing to organize another of these sessions, I would like to know if those in attendance this year found the session useful, what was "good" about it, how it can be improved, and other recommendations.
Your feedback can be posted here on this forum, or sent to me directly at: rwallace@iastate.edu
I appreciate all replies and thank you in advance for whatever feedback you can provide!
