What's my favorite thing about our mobile Convention app? Go into Workshops and then choose a worshop - once you attend this presentation, you can do the questionnaire on your mobile device and voila! it will automatically tabulate the responses. Otherwise, responses must be tabulated by hand - yes, for over 30 workshops!

What happens to the results? Each presenter is given the results so they know how they did - the questionnaire will give them invaluable feedback. We also use the results as a way of knowing what topics and presenters should be included in future Conventions.

Your feedback is important! Be sure to complete the questionnaire (and say "no" to the hard copy offered in the workshop)
