如果你是年会的组织者…. 你会做些什么改进呢？

製作活動議程的小DM，可讓來賓隨身攜帶。

以其他類型贊助廣告形式取代紙袋的使用率，因為顯然製造太多垃圾。

日程议题方面可以适当提前征求网友意见。

加强参会者直接的沟通与交流, 未想到… , 協助每位speaker也做好powerpoint, 也許是要幫忙的地方就幫一幫忙這樣，目前沒甚麼想法, 讓更多的與會者能夠參與進來, 題目上, 1. 希望改善場地安排，受到A場影響，B場真的很難聽得清楚 2. 演講設備（擴音器，喇趴，咪高峰），因A場地方大而聲音易散，感覺上擴音器和喇趴不合適這場地使用 3. 雖然部份參與者自備拖版，但供參與者使用的電源仍是有些不足。但整體上，場地的環境是很好的，工作人員又很努力，很感謝大家組織這成功的年會！,

- First of all, people have to introduce themselves or to be introduced, at least in groups e.g. blogger group from hong kong, from spanish or from other countries should be addressed by the program host. - Don’t always talk about politic, people in overseas just don…
