Hi Everyone, It was great pleasure to be part of the convention and I had a wonderful time of meeting people whom I know and some new.
In my opinion, organizers made their best to provide all facilities and run the convention successful. Of course, in every conference there can be some problems due to unavoidable reasons and none can do anything about it. For instance the quality of water; which I guess none can do anything about it. As far as introduction is concenred, I am not so sure but in many of the conventions / conferences, introductions will happen through networking breaks. As far as time management is concerned, it is not only the responsible of the organizers but the speaker should also manage himself / herself with the limited time allotted to them and hence no one would get into problems. In addition, people should plan for their return journey at least two hours later the the agenda or agenda should e planned in such a way that programme will conclude by the time when majority of the members report to leave. Just my thoughts! Convention really went off very well.
