| The organizing Team wanted to know what the attendees felt about the meeting and identify topics and volunteers for future events A survey was distributed and attendees were encouraged to return it There was even a prize drawing using the returned forms Approximately 82 people returned the forms. THANK-YOU! People loved the location, talks and the academic/industrial mix (all scored > 4.5 out of 5) 26 people (out of 80 responders) expressed an interest in helping to organize a future event (scores of 4 or 5) The catering and meeting room were rated well (3.9 out of 5), a higher screen was the main suggestion Given the success of the meeting and the list of attendees and vendors any future event could be in a larger room with a higher ceiling This would also minimize the noise from outside the room and from people going in and out 93% of people completing the survey said they would attend future NESACS events Work place e-mails were key to the publicity drive 86% of responders had received a work place e-mail ACS Divisions were very well represented at the symposium Based on the response rate over 100 members of each of ORGN and MEDI attended the symposium 44 members of the Division of Medicinal Chemistry completed the survey 43 members of the Division of Organic Chemistry completed the survey 10% of the attendees were members of the Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC) |
