Dear Harish,
It sound like that convention was great success. I am sure that organizers
must have done a very good job at organizing the whole thing.
Just curious to know when is the next convention and where it would be held?
I am sure there must be a discussion during closure of this convention. I
truly regret not being able to attend the convention due to my professional
commitment. However; look forward to attend next convention.
Thanks and regards
Asif

Subject: [AI] Convention feedback
Hello all
I appreciate the feedback regarding the convention and take them all in
right spirit.
Let me go over through it:
1) Introduction of members was not done
We were planning to it in a different way. We wanted introduction to be
done by different persons and so was with offering bouquets to the
speakers. This would get an opportunity for large number of participants
to come to the stage and inderectly get introduced.
We started with it all right, however it was taking more time and we had
to abandon it all together.
We had actually planned the introduction session during the cultural
session which was scheduled at karnavati hostel. The Karnavati hostel had
a nice gardenwhere we were planning to keep it. Some logistic problems
proped up and the cultural programme had to be done at the auditorium
2 Segregation of its own members:
I am not aware of any segregation but this is of paramount concern to me
if any member felt so. I would have appreciated if members should have
brought it to my notice and I could have taken a remedial action. All the
members with whom I interacted with did not put forth any such feedback.
All the feedbacks which kept pouring in the last session was very
positive.
3) dearth of volunteers:
I agree , this could have been better and something to work on in future
4) the lousy preparation in terms of broadcasting this convention :
I am afraid, I can't take this. Firstly I had not made any promisses on it
and offered to make an attempt on reaching there. Network fascility was
indeed arranged but some glitch took place while connecting the laptop to
the hub which could not be resolved and enough effort could not be done on
it due to other compelling priorities.
5) Imbalanced time to speakers:
I have a contrary take on it. I am in fact happy our programme hostess did
not allow any session to get choked which usually takes place in such
presentations and judiously intervened when ever required. Keeping
sensitive to participants request she also gave an additional slot
obliging requests made to her. Comming particularly to your session, it
was very unfortunat that incidently your session got scheduled on the last
part of the day and we had to clos in as members had to take their journey
back. I can assure it was not intended and was only incedental.
6)time management:
I don't think we fared badly on that as no time was wasted between
sessions. Things went smoothly and good enough time was given to speakers
and Q&A
Finally, a negative feedback from my side which was not reported by
anyone:
I did not spend time with participants, I could say only hi and with many
I could not do even that.
My profound appology on that and I shall not make anyattempt to give any
excuses. I certainly failed on that, I am aware of it and feel extremely
guilty about it. All I can ask to be excused and I am confident our
members shall with a big heart bear with me for any short commings,
lapses or anything which made them unhappy.
I hope on the positive side this convention proved benificial to some and
was worth coming over and organising it in the first place.
Yours
Harish.
