The events are informal, personal, and fun, but our feedback mechanism--onsite and post-event surveys--not so much. About fifty people participated in the booth out of a crowd of 320--a pretty good sample size. Our typical onsite and post-event survey would attract about 20 people to opt in. We got more feedback. you tell me.
