The events are a considerable investment for our team that is widely paid off by the good reviews we received from all participants. Looking into the answers it&#8217;s quite clear that the format and length were good and we should try to stick to it. We agreed that the attendance on Friday afternoon was not optimal and we&#8217;re thinking of ways to improve this aspect. \u00a0I&#8217;m very happy to see that participants to the Design Summit felt welcomed, included and encouraged to speak all the time (see table below).<\/p>\n<p>Speaking of areas of improvement,\u00a0 a key criteria for selecting the next venue will be high quality access to Internet or we&#8217;ll bring our own equipment (like Canonical does for the Ubuntu Design Summit). We&#8217;re also looking for more choice regarding hotel rates.<\/p>\n<p>Both the unconference and lightning talks should be advertised better in order to improve attendance. Probably it&#8217;s because both were hard to find, being on a different floor. We should probably discuss how to improve them once we have fixed the venue.<\/p>\n<p>On the Conference side we see a request to increase the presentation of case studies and have more sessions and choices (see table below). We&#8217;ll see how to balance this while keeping the format of the event.<\/p>\n<p>Overall the responses were extremely positive and we&#8217;re very proud of what we&#8217;ve achieved so far. For the next Summit and Conference, we&#8217;re targeting the week of April 16 in New Orleans. We will post more information as soon as it is confirmed: keep watching this space for announcements.<\/p>\n<table cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\">\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th style=\"text-align: left;\" colspan=\"8\">14.
