Overall it was a positive experience.
What did you like best about the event?
Well organized, good location, lots of branding opportunities for our company.
What could the organizers do to improve the event?
Needed more attendees, very little foot traffic on day one, and next to zero on day two. Vendors were packing up booths and leaving by noon on the second day.

Covid nightmare. I had to leave because you refused to enforce local mask mandates.
What did you like best about the event?
I don't have a single positive thing to say about the event.
What could the organizers do to improve the event?
Organizers could wear masks, as required by local/state mandates. I have pictures of Terrapin staff all not wearing masks. You could also actually enforce masks inside the expo hall. I know most of us are vaccinated, but I have a 4 month old daughter at home. I want to get back to normal but I will not put her health at risk because of your inability to enforce mask mandates.

Great to be back out meeting people and learning
What did you like best about the event?
It was great to see people at a show again!!
What could the organizers do to improve the event?
Better and more food. We had no breakfast aside from coffee and tea. Box lunch was just ok and coctail hour by Pico again no food and I knew several people who over indulged and got sick later! You need to have small meatballs or sausage or veggies to eat .. that was the most lacking part of the show.

Great venue, sessions, and easy check in process. Poorly attended.
What did you like best about the event?
The venue was great.
What could the organizers do to improve the event?
We expected a lot more people at the event based on prior lists circulated by the organizers, but the reality is that the event was very poorly attended.

Got the free pass, so only had access to the exhibit hall.
What did you like best about the event?
The hall was small and had a lot of digital assets and low-latency trading vendors, with a few others.
What could the organizers do to improve the event?
More diverse vendor lineup.

Good content but a challenge with Covid protocols.
What did you like best about the event?
Content was good, and ample time to network between talks.
What could the organizers do to improve the event?
Clearer on Covid protocols as the mask mandate caused some questions.
