Satisfaction: 2
Liked_Best: Being able to network with people who know what is going on. This is especially important for me as we are on the bleeding edge of RCP applications with touch screen form factors and thin radio network connections.
Short_Talk: Like
Short_Talk_Length: 10
Short_Talk_Format: Horizontal
Parallel: Just_Right
Format: 1+3
Later_Sessions: No
Exhibit_Hall_Hours: I failed to read the LARGE signs out the front telling me the exhibition opening times. I made the incorrect assumption that the hall would be open after the conference for at least 2 days.

I would recommend making the hall open at least 5pm-8pm. I liked the sponsored receptions in the hall as that was a good incentive to get fed and wander around.

My main aim of attending the conference is to go to the talks, and there was never a point where I didn\'t have a talk to attend. Since visiting the hall was a seconary priority I never went during conference times, only after 5pm.
OS_Pavillion: Yes
Keynotes: No_change
Keynote_Speakers: Erich Gamma and the stats we interesting. Others: Scott Ambler, Rod Johnson, Kent Beck.
Improve_Next_Year: hotel rooms!
Due to the bureacratic process at my end to get approval for the conference, by the time I could register both the Hilton and the Hyatt were booked out. The Holiday Inn was acceptable but was a 10 minute walk away. After a midnight bof session it would be easier to go upstairs to bed than walk for 10 minutes.
