I enjoyed speaking to a friendly and engaged audience
Attendees were engaged, authentic, and interested in learning about the subject I was presenting (Chaos Engineering)
The only thing I feel could have been improved was the promotion of the live streaming to the online audience.

Great way to connect with others who are passionate about open source.
Reconnecting with other attendees that I have seen in 2+ years (due to the Pandemic).
The neighborhood around LAX is pretty depressing. Look forward to returning to Pasadena.

Enjoyed the presentation and talking to engineers and administrators.
Just being able to present live in front of a substantial group of people. The questions and hallway conversations were great. Scale always has a vibrant crowd.
Move back to move of a conference center. The exhibition hall in different halls and in different rooms was difficult to navigate.

Many sessions all over the place
The location was great! Fly in to LAX, free shuttle to hotel and back. Awesome! No need to rent a car or anything. Happy to see vaccine status as a requirement; pissed off that nobody was enforcing masks despite signage everywhere. Even hotel staff were unmasked.
* If you're going to make a rule, then enforce it. Why bother with a rule otherwise? * How were you supposed to get tickets for drink night? Never explained. * I was a registered speaker, yet my account was not in the system. Others have a similar issue. How can an "IT conference" have so many IT issues? God the Wi-Fi was atrocious as well. The K8S tutorial had 30 attendees all trying to download 600MB docker images at the same time. wtf?! Who does that?

Another great scale event with a good variety of vendors and interesting talks.
I really liked having the event in the same building as the hotel. That alone was very convenient.
I would like to see all of the vendor booths back in a single room. It wasn't really inconvenient walking across the hall, but it did add a sense of separation to the vendors.

I went for scale18x 2 years ago, I love this conference
Most of the people attending this event are tech professionals, there are not many marketing/sales at this event which is good
I can't think of anything to make it better, they should hold the conference at another airport hotel, Hilton had terrible Wi-Fi

It was a great event with a lot of knowledgeable speakers
The expo hall was amazing, lots of great companies with great products. My favorite speaker was Robert Hernandez about using OpenWRT for conference Wi-Fi
Ensure that Everyone is following masking rules...including volunteers and employees

It was more relaxing than previous Scale events and gave me time for more personal conversations.
It was a great time to reconnect with my colleagues. The Postgres track was a highlight for me.
Uh, I can't think of anything, that Pasadena had more places to eat outside of the venue.

Met some good people from lots of companies.
Meeting new people led to great conversations about tech and Linux. It was a different crowd than at many events.
Perhaps consider a non-weekend event. It was quite exhausting having to work after the week.

Rewarding.
Lots of interesting talks. The subjects are diverse and the quality of the speakers is great (all but one, of course ;) )
The location, this time, offered a few things to do outside the hotel. While the hotel was not bad, it was not nice enough to stay there the whole day.
Closing session was great.

Great Event as usual
talking with exhibitors and companies to see what they're up to and catching up with my peers
The event is pretty good as it is, I don't think there is much room to improve it.
No not really they were all relevant.

It was very relaxed and fun.
The vendor booths. All my current open source and hardware vendors were in attendance.
The speaker's support and organization need improvement. Maybe someone assigned to each speaker to ensure they have everything they need or at least a point of contact.

Amazing learning opportunity
I like the overall keynotes with Technology Hero's and have a chance to be networking
I think there is always a room to improvement, but overall the engagement was very good
