This was the first IXDA-NY event I've attended and I'm glad I did! The turnout was great and the enthusiasm of the speakers and organisers, infectious! Kudos to the organisers for putting together a great event - thanks to you guys, I have a few ideas that I am taking back home to the 'still nascent' IXDA Mumbai Group.
That said: 1. Isnt pecha-kucha limited to 20-seconds per slide? That would have kept the presenters on their toes, and made sure we got through the slide show... 2. Is there a follow-up to the 7-min presentations? Like Joe and Leah for example, had a whole load of interesting stuff, and after the 7-mins sneak preview, can we get access to the full presentations? 3. Probably, i missed it in the start, but it would've been great to have a quick round of introductions, just to break the ice, i guess... These are just extremely minor comments, i guess its just our second nature to question and improve:) However, the event was great, and I was hoping there would be a couple more before I leave back for India...Thanks again for having me over!
