Post-Event Review
Advertising
Saw some advertising, mainly digital advertisement
Has something to do with advertisement not being formally approved until very late
Also advertised through word of mouth
Logistics
Everything was set up on time, but majority of people showed up very late
Content
Speaker had family emergency
Out of the orgs control and very last minute
Food was good, with a good amount of vegetarian options
Future Notes
See about getting advertisement approved earlier
See about making labels for food that corresponds with dietary preferences

Post-Event Review
Advertising
Good advertising on the second day
Logistics
Nothing was there on the first day of event April 5th
It might have been an issue of misunderstanding location or bad advertising
Second day was better
Good turnout
Content
Was almost exclusively conducted in Spanish
Translation was only offered via an online sign up
Future Notes
Offer translation to people who show up on the day of event, rather than exclusively through a sign up
Another conference was happening down the hall from the event which may have created confusion
