Had I not attended a previous successful event, this experience would drive me away from the group entirely. The evening was without value at all. There was an hour long wait to write my own name on a badge, which I learned 8 feet from the front of the line was available to anyone who could walk up and grab it. Lackluster presentations by both Trialpay and Zynga in which they described technical and marketing strategies not actually employed by their products were laughable, and I have no idea what their "sponsorship" actually did for the event and its attendees; the "food & drink provided" as advertised was nowhere to be seen. I feel cheated and lied to. The organizer publicly apologized to the group this morning for unexpected difficulties in managing an event so large, but the RSVP list was was well over 300 for the better part of a week beforehand. His assistant was rude and unhelpful, and did not seem overly concerned at our discomfiture.

There was really not enough time, after the presentation many of the audience questions were not answered. The event only lasted about 40 minutes

was not able to attend due to work schedule. Sorry I missed it

Just fantastic. Lots of great people.

Line was too long and a waste of time. I easily could have skipped the line...and was annoyed afterwards that I didn't. Do some tests to find out how long it takes to check off 10 random names in your book. Then use that test to estimate the number of people you need to handle registration in less than 15 minutes. 1 person and 1 marker wasn't very efficient.

One of the best presentations I've seen from a leader in the social gaming space. Great networking and conversations overall. I'll definitely be back. -Corey

This was better than I expected. Useful, targeted talks from some of the biggest players in this area + the chance to meet other local folks in the field in a casual atmosphere = totally worth my time.

I was disappointed by the presentation as I had expected more insider goodies and would have preferred a different location. It was super crammed and uncomfortable and we had to pay for food and drinks out of pocket this time.

A great second Meetup for this group. The venue was nice with a lot of screens to view presentations from any location in the bar. Great presenters with intersteing, well prepared slideshows. Queue for badges was really long so many just skipped signing in.

A great opportunity to network. Also really interesting to hear the Zynga developer give some insight into their design process and engineering.

I think the presenters were great!

not enough developers

The registration line was bad. Too long and too slow. Ended up not checking in. This must be improved for future meets.

Meetup was great. The speakers were great. The whole waiting in line to sign-in, was bad (chaotic).

Learned a lot about developing facebook games from the people from Zynga.
