I was VERY disappointed on conference aspects relating to the agenda, amount of vendors and the lack of happiness and interest of other veteran attendees. The networking aspect is always worth it’s weight in gold. However, listening to a parking expert continuously hog the floor about development and having ZERO experience in the area is infuriating.

There are a lot of attendees with a vast wealth of information who have the knowledge,credentials and intestinal fortitude for thinking outside the domain box and moving to the future.

I was also very upset that after all this time, the portfolio and experience we have, not ONCE have either Rick S. Or Howard EVER shaken our hands or introduced themselves to us or to a lot of other individuals. Having said that Rick Latona was the professional by having the courtesy and manners to do both.

If the subject material does not change to different individuals with applicable knowledge, vendors given better placement of their booths (don’t put them in the same place where the food is served- it is classless, demeaning and a professional insult), and STOP charging the guest speakers to come…(That is just
rude) we refuse to go back no matter where it is being held.

I am hoping Rick L’s crew will bring some class, professionalism and valuable information to TRAFFIC. I want him to succeed.

Please pardon the typos. Using an iphone in a moving car is like typing with boxing gloves on a roller coaster. I also hope i did not anger too many people as that was not my intent.
