"Thank you so much for a very informative evening.  My husband and I both enjoyed the lecture tonight.  Its quite impressive that this was only your second time speaking - you did great!  The slide show was very helpful.
Our suggestion for Lakewood is:  Have the Q&A session with everyone seated.  Those that want to leave, have 5 minutes to do so.  Everyone else, please remain seated so everyone remaining can benefit from the answers.  Also, it would be a good idea for you to repeat the Q into the mike for all to hear."

The problem was by Q&A most people bolted, which created a mess.
I think this suggestion makes sense though, no?

I loved the screen shots of sample award bookings! Wish I could get those slides as a reference for future bookings of my own.

I'm assuming that happened bec everyone wanted to get your attention so you would answer their question?

A possible suggestion would be to appointment someone to stand in the audience and pick who should ask the next question.

Or even have people write their questions down and send them up to a moderator during the main portion.

  • Location: The value of a forum such as this one is not in that one can post a question and receive an answer, but in that the question has most likely been asked before, and the answer is available to him that will but only use the search function.
  • Programs: 1. Search on google. 2. Search in the right board of DDF with a general word or two. 3. Read the wiki. 4. Read the thread. 5. Ask away.

Makes perfect sense!
I was hoping that's the way it would turn out beforehand.

+1.  I tried, but just couldn't hear (despite standing a few feet away from you).

Otherwise everything was quite smooth.  With this problem rectified at the Lakewood event, it should be perfect!
