The 2006 Spring Symposium Committee requested comments from the attendees regarding the meetings and improvements which they felt were needed. These comments are listed below in no particular order.
Comment #1:
"We could have used wider tables. All else was very good. Times for exhibits were very good."
Comment #2:
"I thought it was very good. The variety was good, the speakers were well informed. I look forward to the next year's classes."
Comment #3:
"-Pre-printed name badges with attendees City and Facility typed on them. These are easier to read in plastic covers.

-Good facility and food. Good Job!"
Comment #4:
"I always enjoy going to your ASCLS Symposiums. I hope next year you have it in a "central" location, so I can attend.
Good selection of food-those brownies were great!
I also enjoy talking to the vendors, and Diana Mass too! How about next year having an OPEN FORUM on what people see in the future of Medical Technology?"
