I just finished reading the evaluations from WebSearch University in Washington DC. There were a lot of them! With 250 people at the conference, most felt obliged to fill out and turn in the evaluation forms. It delights me that so many people who came to WebSearch cared enough to tell us what they thought about it, and it wasn’t the “bribe” of the iPod Shuffle, either. One attendee actually wrote that he/she didn’t need an iPod but wanted to share her/his thoughts anyway.

Attendees were generally complimentary (Thanks!) but wanted more presentations geared to the truly expert searcher. Point taken.

Next year, we do plan on both a spring and autumn WSU. The latter will be back at the Washington Marriott on Sept. 22-23. Spring dates (and city) are still in negotiation and as soon as I know them, I’ll post them here.
