Your feedback

• Slides - text too small, colors too washed out, template
• Need surveys in Events Apps for pre-conference
• Bring back Meet the Teams
• Excitement during the plenary - apparently there was construction for new solar panels being installed during the plenary and the house lights came on.
• Showcase was great - good to have the 1-to-1 time to discuss with Esri staff and experts
• Length of conference is good - 1 week of fun
• Kudos for having sign-language during the Plenary

The closing session was great. Good food, great conversation, new connections, and many questions answered by the panel of speakers.
Euan Cameron was even challenged to draw an ArcMap on a whiteboard.	Several attendees posted Q&A on social media and video while at DevSummit.
This question had the entire panel answering. Thank you steve gourley‌ for a great question.   Still have questions after DevSummit?
