Category : venue facilities

Each day I forked over my 1.75 so I would not have to drag my coat around. As I leave directly to the airport (as most of us probably) I brought my luggage in today. Shocked when I had to hand over just under €6! How can a conference that costs over €1000 charge us every day for this "service"?

I had to take two bags to fill me up! Poor quality and choice for a conference of this cost.

Hello Team,
the web2.0expo is one great event and I was so excited to see it come to Berlin. The keynotes, the speakers, the sessions - they were very inspiring. Pls bear this in mind when reading the next lines:
WHERE WAS THE COLLABORATION? It felt like the American invasion! You did not hook up with the local community, with the regional industry, with the national press! If you had you would not have been fooled into the location and made the terrible mistake to let THEIR team handly any of your concerns. You mader Berlin look dreary. That is not very considerate of you. Jan Chipchase: "We need to listen!"
Pls, in the future, integrate persons from the location you are descending on into your team. Europeans actually do know how to make some great conferences. Check out: DLD Confernce.
better luck to the next location

For a high quality conference like this, quality and presentation of lunch is simply annoying.

I really think the Berlin Messe area is suboptimal for a conference like. There's nowhere to hang out and relax and network.

Overall, the conference was a great and very fruitful experience but the venue sucked - and I don't mean Berlin, which is one of my favourite cities!

The contrast between the yellow links and the gray backgorund is too poor and I need to select all the text on the page in order to read them

(is the website a venue facility? :) )

These buildings are killing creativity.

It's dark, cold, and it lacks kind of real lounges (not this strange hall called lounge ;-) to come together.

You won't even get a decent coffee...

I would like to see this taking place at an other intersting place. maybe at the university or such.

It's kind of expensive for this venue quality.

At least one good point: Public transportation is excellent.

I wonder why smoking is allowed inside the building, especially in front of the keynotes room.

The lunch ag was not good - you're in Europe. You cannot do this here.... Adapt or ...

There is clearly not enough place for everyone to sit and have some food/

Create meeting points to make it easier for people to find each other.
People could twit, blog or comment on crowdwine: "let's meet under meeting point A at 12H".

Extra point: make funny meeting point: carton, coconut tree, whatever.

Although the speakers workshops made up for it, the venue facilities didn't. I got the feeling I ended up in a place that didn't expect this event to take place. A very long line at the registration, asking the same information that I already submitted. The waiting contiuned at the one place to get a cup of coffee. Again, I enjoyed the speakers, but got an negative feeling from the place were it took place.

As a developer that doesn't drink coffee, I'm in desperate need of some good old sugar loaded, unhealthy soft drinks.
I'd even settle for some orange juice, if I could find some.

The only thing, all of this water is good for, is for more visits to the loo!
