I heard a couple of non-native English speakers this time. They were OK and, I think, got their points across. Don't know how the conference would vet speaking skills unless someone already knows them an has heard them speak formally.Emily Garberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04728999439188446783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2445639686053980930.post-51315974158822287842014-08-07T01:42:46.027-07:002014-08-07T01:42:46.027-07:00How do the speakers find out what the app reviews ...How do the speakers find out what the app reviews were?IsraelPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16748957039859625149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2445639686053980930.post-9427297567669191832014-08-07T01:37:40.949-07:002014-08-07T01:37:40.949-07:00My internet experience was quite the opposite of y...My internet experience was quite the opposite of yours. Upstairs it worked fine but downstairs it was a disaster. Aside from that, the constant need to log in over and over was unacceptable for today's world.<br /><br />I am all with you on the need for methodology presentations. Some of those age well and I hope conference organizers will not say "this was at the last two conferences, so we don't need it again." <br /><br />I am pleased to say the "meet my family" presentations seem to have disappeared entirely. Good riddance.<br /><br />I think more attention should be paid to the speaking ability of the European guests brought by the SIGs. Nuff said.IsraelPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16748957039859625149noreply@blogger.com
