Hello,
During the SCALE postmortem for 2017 and kick off for 2018 one topic that has come up is Sunday attendance. For many years, we've been seeing a bit of a decline in overall Sunday attendance, especially on the exhibit hall and as such many exhibitors (both commercial and volunteer run) have asked us to either cut the Sunday expo floor or further SCALE back Sunday Expo floor hours. To be clear cutting Sunday sessions is not being considered at this time.
With this in mind we'd like your thoughts and help here with making Sunday better:
- How would a change in exhibit hall hours impact your personal plans to attend Sunday?
- Are there schedule adjustments that would make it more likely for you and your colleagues/friends/etc to stay through Sunday?
- If the expo hall were to close EOD Saturday, are there alternative activities you would want to host in its place on Sunday in that space?
- If we held a closing keynote Sunday afternoon/evening, would you stay for it?
- Do we have any volunteers willing to write up a survey we can send to past attendees on this topic?
We look forward to your thoughts and ideas.
Thanks, Ilan
