I hope you do submit next year - the kinds of submissions we get greatly influences the tone and technical level of the conference (of course!). But one thing I think we can add is a classification of "technical difficulty/ability" for a session so people can make more informed decisions about what they attend. Thanks, Grant!

For starters I want to thank you for putting together this conference. It was great to meet so many new people eager about technology and the web. I want to be honest here and simply want you to take this as feedback for next year’s session. I was a little disappointed with the event. Aside from the keynote speakers and Tom Hughes-Croucher's discussion on web APIs and YQL, I didn't find the information very valuable. This could be because of where I'm at in my career and the knowledge that I currently hold. It appeared to me that the discussions I went to were focused on entry-level concepts. If this is the audience type that certain sessions attract then it should be stated so in the session description. In my opinion, one of the main benefits of attending these events is for professional networking. I met a lot of smart individuals and only hope that the conference next year attracts even more people. Again, this is only feedback and not meant to be negative. I love the Minneapolis conference scene and many people benefit from these events. Keep up the good work and I'll be sure to submit a session proposal for next year. Regards, Grant Novey Hey Sara!
