Carlos JustinianoHad a good experience. I (and it seems others) were expecting actual presentations.Checked-in The organizers made a few unsuccessful attempts at getting the groups attention. Playing with the clubs lighting should have done the trick. I enjoyed speaking the the sponsors and the people I met - so overall a successful meet-up!
-
Pete MauroThanks for organizing the event. Several people that I spoke with agreed that the music was too loud to have meaningful conversations.

Slava YansonIt was extremely hard to hold a conversation for more then 15 seconds. I could barely even hear myself and had to literally yell at people so they could hear me.

adam webber+2 guestsGreat Croud and energy, unfortunately the music was much too loud and the venue to small. people couldn't hold group conversations. the organizer didn't know if it should be a Club Experience where the music is up or a Networking event where startups could learn from each other and pitch their services. Good intentions but poorly executed. Hopefully next time the kinks get ironed out.

Gabriel DillonMusic was way too loud, demoing companies should have had a chance to speak about their products. Too many people, keynote speaker couldn't even get people to shush. I saw the valiant efforts made to quiet the crowd, but to no avail. That said, had a great time.

Caveat: the duration of aforementioned contact will likely approach thresholds of either discomfort or social awkwardness as the evening progresses.
