Collected Comments/Feedback

  • Interesting subjects presented.
  • Having a lapel microphone for the oral presenters would have improved the

ability for the audience to hear

  • Keynote speaker should not be at the end of the day
  • Signage or send out maps in advance of the event - external signage for

"meeting this way"

  • Topics to consider in future years: Green Chemistry, Sustainability, Climate

Change

  • Better Advertisement
