I would have preferred to meet all the guys during the speed dating portion of the evening -- not just some.
— Liza Karlin
It was a fun and well-organized event. I'm amused that we apparently had a Michael 38, Michael 39, and Michael 40 running around. :)

My first experience with speed dating:-) Had a great time- met some fun people.
— Susan
It was an interesting experience. I'll definitely have to bring out some of my boys to the next one. The gender proportions were a bit of a downer. I felt bad moving from one conversation to the next when I knew the woman I was closing the conversation with was going to be stuck spending the next 4 minutes listening to other people's conversations. I had some really wonderful conversations though all but 1 of the women was someone I could have spent another 10 minutes talking to easily. And even she may have been cool but she was just way to quiet so I'll never know.

Better than expected

This was a lot of fun--a great chance to meet a bunch of other people in the group, and also take a lot of completely wrong guesses about literature and metals in the Earth's core.
— Steve S.
It was a good time! My team won 3rd place and $10. We'll definitely do this again.

It was a great event, but REALLY crowded toward the afternoon! Made it hard to hit all the booths. I would love to go again and get in earlier!
— Amy Blaszyk (41 Going Out Points!)
I had a great time overall and even met some folks. Had fun doing Zumba early in the morning - made me feel energized for the rest of the day. Wow...what a wealth of information at this expo - learned some things and even got a chance to meet some of the NBC4 News Team. Did some screenings, took some pictures...I will definitely attend this expo again.
— Jamaican Gail (30s & 40s Allstar Assistant Organizer! - 146 Going Out Points! )
I enjoyed myself. I was working a booth but found some time to see many of the great presentations and exhibits. Will put this on the calender for next year.

Good ideas, group work. Met new people!
— Anjel (30 Going Out Points!)
For those who are ready to take the step, it should have been very insightful and movitivating! I really enjoyed it and I thank those who introduced themselves after! Stay encouraged!
— Nik Rodriguez (40 Going Out Points!)
she was really amazing, i wish you all came... i have been going through some really tough times and now i have been the happiest since ... would love to share with anyone who are interested...
— nimali (40 Going Out Points!)
I thought it was so boring. That lady talked more about herself than the topic
— Elissa Barnes (41 Going Out Points!)
Well organized material, interactive discussion/activities, just not very helpful for me. (And no vegetarian sandwich options--I left early because I was hungry.)
— Vicki (40 Going Out Points!)
Let me start by saying I really liked the coach. I think she has a lot to offer and I will definitely contact her about some one-on-one or small group work. That said, I think this group was a little too large to have so much group participation. I didn't feel like I got enough of the coach, and trying to do the exercises became a little difficult when the group was too large to truly be intimate enough to be effective. It would have also been MUCH better if it had been men only or women only. I think people would have had an easier time being open amidst the same sex.
— Amy Blaszyk (41 Going Out Points!)
Thanks to JT for organizing! It was an interesting event. There was some good information given and I would rate the actual presentation at 3 stars. I have given the overall meetup 4 stars because of the opportunity it provided to meet new people.
— Sherry G (40 Going Out Points!)
It was great to meet new people and hear from a different perspective.
— Lisa (40 Going Out Points!)
Overall, very insightful. I think because it took place on a Sunday evening, people wanted to get home, so there wasn't as much networking after the seminar as I would have liked.
— Stacy (72 Going Out Points!)
Atieno is one of the best coaches!
— J.T. (30s & 40s Allstar Head Organizer! - 287 Going Out Points!)
Room was a little cool but that didn't deter from the mood of the session. I enjoyed the facilitator and left with several action items that I will hold myself accountable for. Thanks for the meetup!
