The case studies were the most helpful and would like to see even more · Well done · Very good delivery method · Presentation was interesting and full of good information. I appreciated the information even though Im an engineer and dont directly deal with these architectural issues · Good Speaker. Interacted with audience. Came away with good info · Excellent speaker. Took a complex subject and made it interesting. Speaker could have easily used another ½ hour on the subject; because of his communication skills he could have kept us there two hours and would have had our full attention (mine anyway) · Well organized approach to alternate methods that will/should pass code, but not strictly per code. A good blueprint for process/action presented · Best seminar I attended in terms of usefulness and the resources that were presented · Informative and entertaining General Comments on the Wood Solutions Fair Ø It’s really great to have representatives from all facets of an industry brought together. I get more information in one day than I could (looking for it myself , even online) in months. And, it’s great inspiration to see what others are doing with wood. I feel like, “I could do that”. Ø Very much appreciated the science, credentials, and experience of each expert presenter. It gave the event a credibility that could easily be lacking in a trade association type event.
