Hi Geoff,

Glad you enjoyed the conference, it was a cool few days. I'm really pleased you enjoyed my presentation and thank you for the very kind words, I kind of feel like I should be paying you.

Hi Geoff,

Thanks for the kind words: it's always difficult moderating that sort of session as I'm worried that I'll stop the guys when they're about to give out a gem of knowledge - glad it wasn't too bad!

Cheers

yeah, I know what you mean about the session - it's very hard to decide how advanced the content should be, when you don't know what attendance you'll have, and you have to start with the basics to ensure everyone is on the same par. A lot of the sessions I attended were like that, but for plenty of people this was good as they are newbies.

My suggestion is that the seminars for next year should be split and marked "introduction" and "advanced", so we know how to approach a subject.

Hi Hero, thanks for posting a comment. The voucher session wasn't too bad, it's just that I felt the first half was covering a lot of basics for a speciality event. I appreciate though that a Q&A session could have just turned in to a massive debate about "click to reveal". :)

Hi Geoff,
Thanks for your comments on the voucher code session; sorry to hear that you felt it wasn't moderated well.

The plan was to have a 30 mins presentation, around 10 mins discussion with the panel and then 20 mins Q&A. We had permission to overrun by around 10 mins as well, if we had a lot of questions. When Kieron shouted over at 11.40, we were wrapping up and about to get started with the Q&A part.

Ideally we would have dedicated the whole session to questions from the audience, since it's one of the hot topics at the moment. However, we felt that this would put the focus on specific topics only and potentially only on the current issues, rather than shed light on its effectiveness, which is what the session was all about afterall.

Thanks again for attending, hope you found it useful.

Many thanks Geoff.

All the best and good lu...
