I really loved the event! Organizing it right after EA Global was probably good idea to get attendees from outside of the UK.
At the same time, being right after EA Global without a break prevented me from attending the retreat part. 6 days in a row full of intense networking was a bit too much, both physically and mentally, so I only ended up attending the first day.
But thanks a lot for organizing, I got a lot of value from it in terms of new cutting edge research ideas.
Glad you enjoyed it and sad you weren’t able to attend the retreat.
tbh, I was also quite tired after EAG and skipped out on some after conference events, which was quite suboptimal. Next year, I’m thinking about doing it before EAG and giving folks a 1-2 days of rest before EAG starts.
Hi Rafael! Glad you were able to attend the first day. And we appreciate the feedback, thank you! You aren’t the first mention the post-EAG overwhelm; we’ll be taking this into consideration for future conferences.
