Thank you for attending “The Power of Design: AIGA National Design Conference” last week. To help us plan for the conference in Boston in 2005, won’t you please take a few minutes to respond to this short list of questions?

1. Please tell us which were your three favorite main-stage presentations and why you liked them (e.g., topic, presentation style, visuals).

2. Please tell us which were your two favorite focused sessions and why you liked them.

3. Were there other aspects of the conference that you felt were successful (e.g., speaker roundtables, Speaker Salon, yoga session, Design Fair, Plaza Studio, e-lounge, meditation, bookstore)?

4. If you thought any sessions were weak, which were they and what were the characteristics that made them so (e.g., topic, presentation style, visuals, location)?
