Hello, It's Annette (and Andrew) from Edinburgh, Scotland.
Already booked our flights 🙂
Don't want to miss it. The first Open was great and last year in Paris was, despite what happened, indredibly inspirational.
With regards to what we would like to see:
* Priority sign-up for repeat attendees
* A nice AirBNB T-shirt for all attendees
* An AirBNB bag to carry all the stuff you get (small branded rucksack would be great)
* Good food and drinks like in SF 2014
* More detailed information beforehand on the break-out sessions. I waited with signing up for them last year as there was no specific info available, and then missed out as they were fully booked by the time this info became available.
* A badge for those that have been to all Opens so we can regognize each other
* A special drinks reception for those that have attended all Opens?
* Announcement of venue asap so we can book accommodation
* Meet your area manager time slot (I have never met mine and am a host for years now)
* Meeting with the techies / Marketing dept to discuss ideas (like in SF 2014)
* Recap of last year's ideas / comments from attendees and what you have concretely done with that feedback.
* More chilled out space, like in SF2014 so people can sit together and have a chat. The beanbags on the steps set-up worked well for that. Last year's Open was bigger, and more corporate. We really missed the community feel.
