2009 Onsite Post Mortem

What worked

1.	workshop time

2.	Student participation

3.	What’s on your desk

4.	location (G45 and study rooms)

5.	Keep speakers in the morning. Good for framing the discussions.

What could be better

1.	Internet access ports at tables (wireless router next time)

2.	parking pass handoff (mail them and scratch off the correct dots so we don’t get a ticket anyway)

3.	Water in addition to other food

4.	Take notes directly into wiki (requires access)

5.	need larger turnout

6.	Nobody called in. We should determine why.

7.	We always take longer in the morning. Speakers go-over their time.

8.	We should allocate more time for the Dean

9.	More synthesis time at the end (at least an hour)

10.	Bring in Directors and Student leaders at the end for the synthesis

11.	Dinner the night before would be better for getting everyone settled (8pm dinner so that people could finish up their workday and take the next day off)
