This year the stage producers and crew invite you to participate in our ongoing retrospective throughout the conference.
Attend the kick-off on Monday to learn about what a retrospective is, and some examples of how you can contribute.
Contribute each day your favorite moments, strong feelings, interesting conversations, significant events, issues, questions, problems and suggestions on our conference timeline. The timeline will be setup on the walls in a central room with an area of the wall for each day of the conference. When placing your feedback group similar topics close together so trends and hot spots can easily be seen in the feedback. There will be colored post-it notes for you to write on and stick to the appropriate area on the wall. Please write clearly and use green for anything that worked well, red for anything that needs improvement and yellow for other stuff: events, questions, puzzles, responses, suggestions & answers.
Attend the conference retrospective on Friday. Not only will you improve the conference for yourself and others next year but you will also be giving yourself an opportunity to reflect on your conference experience, discuss the best and worst bits with your fellow participants and review what you have gained from your investment in time and money. This is also a demonstration of some techniques for running a very large retrospective.
