I know there were a lot of detailed questions in the survey, so I understand if you don't want to release all of them to us. Would it be possible to know where my talk fell in the "most popular talks" question and if it got any mentions in the open feedback questions?

It is disheartening to hear of your experience at some booths in the Expo Hall. Can provide the company names where you had this experience? We will not reach out to them specifically, but it will be helpful for us to know in order may be more specific in our goals of inclusivity to them. We will continue to promote this moving forward to all sponsoring companies that have a presence in the Expo Hall.

We are sorry about the t-shirts being gone by Sunday and if you would like I can process a refund for you, please let me know. Based on your feedback we will be adding verbiage on the registration site in the future to indicate the times t-shirts will be available for pick up. Hope to see you for the full conference in 2020!!

We did not have specific questions regarding the individual talks, however, we did ask attendees to select their top 5. Your talk fell into the top 25% of talks based on the responses received from about 1000 attendees.
