“ Good meeting, delay at start was a drag as was the congestion and confusion around the food. If that can be improved then this meeting would easily be great. ”
“ This regards Mett Ups in general, not necessarily last night:
a) At every meeting, some people feel compelled to be rude, etc. Everyone deserves respect, in particular people starting a business and/or speaking before an audience. Everyone - including organizers but in particular the audience - should treat presenters with respect. If presenters drift off task or topic, they can gently be kept on task.
b) some presenters go on too long. There should be a strict time limit, including a courtesy "you have 1 minute to wrap up." ”
“ the presentations were great but the meeting started 15 minutes late and so I couldn't stay for all and the schmooze time was cut and we couldn't get in to the room...bummer ”
“ We presented for the first time at Tech meetup and got some great feedback and got to talk to some interesting people after our presentation. This is a great group to share ideas with. ”
“ Too many people - not sure about the other event that ran over and was overflowing with tech meetup - but it was crowded, confusing.
Additionally - the technologies weren't as interesting this time around. The one guy with the financially modelling was totally unprepared.
Socialthing was the only really interesting preso and the guy who presented it was excellent. ”
“ It started late, rude attendees left early. Why was a t-shirt displaying the word "F*ck" advertised for sale in the middle of the meeting? Andrew Hyde is heartily invited to "get the @#$* over himself."
Overall, it was a very smug and amateur event. It has its uses but it could be so much more than a mutual 'ego stroking' evening. ”
