Across all survey areas, overall satisfaction averaged 90%, with\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">97% of survey respondents indicating that they would recommend the event to a colleague in the future. Of the areas to improve, these were the key themes:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Fewer posters with better space<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: There was a good variety of topics and campus groups during the poster session but you felt too cramped in the space. We plan to reduce the number of posters and increase the space allocated to them to provide more space for mingling and interactions between poster presenters and attendees.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Longer Hands on Training<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: The topics for hands-on-training were well-received but the timeslots didn\u2019t allow you to get as much interaction as desired. We plan to give more attention to the content and experience you may have in these trainings, including making the sessions longer.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Better Birds of a Feather<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Attendees appreciated the opportunity to talk with peers but weren\u2019t necessarily prepared for the session. We plan to provide a more conducive conversation opportunity, particularly if registration is high, and more direction for facilitators and attendees.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Alternate timing<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Holding the symposium on Thanksgiving week makes it difficult for a portion of our community to participate, while others appreciate the event taking place on a traditionally \u201cquiet\u201d week. Based on the availability of suitable campus venues, we are looking into options for holding the event the week following Thanksgiving starting in 2018 (as not to conflict with other events, including SUMIT, EDUCAUSE and SC17). \u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">See more feedback and recommendations for next year in the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/file\/d\/0BwkqQNVcjCJIVENFdWx5UnlfdEU\/view?usp=sharing\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2016 Michigan IT Symposium final report<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Thanks to all who made the third annual Michigan IT Symposium a success!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Save the date: Nov 20-21, 2017 at the Michigan League<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Planning for next year&#8217;s event has already begun.
