A few short questions later and you are done.
This feedback is valuable to IRE as we plan future conferences. Each day you complete a session evaluation you’ll be entered into the daily evaluation drawing for a $10 bar/restaurant credit. The more evaluations you complete the more times you are entered. In addition, we’ll be sending out evaluations via email each day as we’ve done at previous conferences.
