Session and Individual Speaker Comments:
Excellent talk/speaker.
Superb presentation by Dr. Nash. Hope the summary is included in the handouts after the meeting. Also,
enjoyed Dr. Brater’s presentation. I think his perspective is valid and I appreciate his sharing it.
AV support was poor at the beginning
GREAT speaker
The presentation was showy but failed to engage; the content was all material I’ve heard over and over
again.
Seemed a bit condescending at times.
Well done talk
Boring and not relevant
The President of AAIM was boring and the content he presented had little relevance to us. The audio
equipment was poor. The second speaker was much better.
