Noticing the details
Some details I’ve noticed at this year’s meeting (from the perspective of a meeting planner)… some may be new, some not. But I noticed.
1. The tote bag isn’t marred by a dozen sponsor logos. My husband said to me this morning, “I’d actually use this later!”
2. Love how ASAE’s staff shirts change every day. It makes them stand out.
3. Lots of great lounge areas. I’ve enjoyed the opportunity to meet new folks just by taking a seat on a couch. They are great for connecting with otheres!
4. No registration list. It’s driving me crazy not knowing who is here. I realize it would be quite a lengthy document, but it would really help to identify who I want to seek out at the meeting. Maybe it could be made available to registrants electronically prior to the meeting?
5. Evaluations are already out for sessions. I got an email on Monday morning asking me to evaluate the Saturday and Sunday sessions. Nice!
What have you noticed this year?

The reg list was/is available on the Annual meeting web site. It's in a somewhat non-intuitive location: on the handout download page: http://www.asaeannualmeeting.org/handouts.cfm

Thanks Jeffrey! I figured it had something to do with being paperless.

I would agree with all those Kristi. Instead of a PDF, I would like a searchable function, maybe with the option to connect via email. This is usually our chance to try to get with people we haven't seen in a while.

Kristi, you're not the only one who was looking for the reg list...I couldn't find it either. I certainly didn't guess it would be on the handout download page!! Well, good to know anyway. :-)
