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

— Mike Lyons

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

I think the presenters were great!

— Esther

not enough developers

— Allen

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

— Will Lin

Just fantastic. Lots of great people.

— Marat Karpeka

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

— Corey Rosemond

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.

— Ingrid Asmundson

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.

— Scott Rouse

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

— Paul Norton

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

— Ricardo

It was a lot of fun having drinks and meeting people. I can't wait to do it again.

— Chris Haukap

A huge thank you to AJ, Jason, Kayla and Firecue! This was a great event at a great venue with great people in attendance. I would definitely attend a future event and recommend it to others!

— Scott Dodson

this was a lot of fun and it gave me a chance to meet some of the other people that work in the gaming industry. thank you to the host AJ Archibald.

— Andrew Eikenberry

meetup was great, lots of people came and I made good connections....would have liked it if the speakers had prepared a bit more to say and if the audience had participated more but other than that it was great

— Mike Christian

Everyone I met was friendly and interested to meet other professionals. The room was full of creative interesting people. This was an awesome start straight out of the gate for this new group.

— David Lawson

Good networking, wish the speakers had more to say, thanks for the drinks and organizing. Change from Tuesdays (AKA video game release day) to another night.

— Scott Rouse

I really do appreciate the meeting.

— Dan Landeck

Very friendly and accessible. Lots of people and little attitude. Next time, I will bring business cards.
