Pre-Conference Social

The venue was nice enough, though I would think most people would have preferred somewhere a little closer to the conference centre (assuming a big enough place exists).

Nice, comfortable venue. Food was good. Would have liked to see the speakers there though.

Nice place, but somewhere nearer would perhaps have been a better choice.

Nice location and facilities if a few minutes walk from the conference centre and majority of hotels but nothing drastic. Might be nice to see informal talks/unconf as a bit of an ice breaker.

Cool place and food was ok. Left early to be ready for the morning and couldn't meet the speakers.

Arrived late, but Barca's a good bar in a nice area. Closer to the conference venue would have been good, but believe me, we tried and failed to find somewhere!

It seemed a bit of a walk from the MCC but it wasn't too bad after a few beers already at the Lass O'Grady.

The room we were in was a good size and I'm sure this helped to encourage people to engage others. I certainly met a few more friends that I hung around with on the Saturday and Sunday because of this.

Good to see the Wii was out but didn't play myself, others certainly did though.

The food there was good, or least the burger meal was.
