Instead of cherry-picking people for Lasso Summit testimonials, we thought we would share the results of the Lasso Summit 06 evaluation form distributed to the attendees at the end of the event. These evaluations were anonymous to encourage honest responses. The Lasso Summit 06 evaluations have been tabulated. The results speak for themselves.

Lasso Summit sponsors received an overall rating of 4.73 out of a possible 5. Nobody rated the sessions less than three. This is a great reflection on how well the sponsors were received.

What improvements would you like to see?

• "Need to tweak the Roundtable format. Its a bit loud in the room."
• "Saturday’s sessions might have been shorter to make room for one more."
• "Concurrent sessions for different skill levels."
• "More high level talks."
• "Sessions for beginners with hands-on examples of the fundamentals."
• "Longer program for Sunday’s roundtables"

• "More demos on screen and third party solutions."
• "More power outlets."

While planning Lasso Summit 07, we looked at these improvement requests and did some tweaking.

• The hotel has new "conference" chairs. The old chairs will be reserved for weddings where long sit times are not required.
• One additional main session has been added to the Saturday lineup.
• The Sunday Roundtable event has been extended from 11AM to 1PM ending with a luncheon for some final networking.
• Two pre-conference sessions have been added for beginner and intermediate users. This should better prepare those for the Saturday sessions.
• Speakers have been asked to provide more on-screen examples.
• More power outlets are planned to be made available.
• There will be no concurrent podium talk during Roundtables which should reduce the sound level.
• There is no set limit to Roundtable hosts. If you have something you would like to share, we want to hear it.
