| Things That Went Well |
| went_well |
| Everything! |
| Timings, question & Answer sessions, quality of presentations, breaks allowing discussions amongst delegates. |
| Well organised - interesting range of topics. |
| Everything. I found the Quintiles talk very interesting. |
| All presentations stuck to time and clear. |
| The TV screens where useful. Good timings |
| Organisation |
| Interesting presentation in a good enviroment |
| Organisation overall. Useful map to get there. |
| Overall start/finish times good. Most presentation were easy to follow and well presented. Hard copy slides with room for notes. |
| Presentation on data mining & warehousing were very interesting - explanation of SAS Insight was good but could have been shorter, especially demonstration. |
| Very smooth organisation. Lovely setting. Liked the screens nearer the back of the room and lovely lunch. |
| Really enjoyed presentation from Quintiles using ODBC & OLE to interface SAS with word. |
| Relaxed atmosphere |
| Everything really. Good food. What happened to the gents toilets! |
| Found the Quintiles presentation very interesting, mainly because it was so practical and constructive. |
| The meeting went very well. thank you |
| Lunch was great, the extra screen nearer the back was a big help nice comfy chairs. Mainly well run, speakers kept to their time limits, lots of chance for questions. |
| Interesting day with different subjects. not much new, but it gives you a flavour that what you are doing is not totally different. Food was superb and accomodation. |
| Good, well qualified speakers, well co-ordinated logistics Just right! |
| Presentations clear and precise - 45 mins good time. |
| Presentations good |

| Things We Could Have Done Better |
| we_can_improve |
| ALIGNMENT OF PROJECTORS SO LEFT HAND SIDE IS ON SCREEN NOT ON THE WALL, TEMPERATURE CONTROL IN THE ROOM. |
| Food! Could not tell what was vegetarian. |
| I WOULD HAVE LIKED MORE TECHNICAL DISCUSSION, SOME OF THE PRESENTATIONS WERE TOO MUCH OF AN OVERVIEW |
| Lunch was nice but "bitty". Proper sandwiches, too, please. |
| Nothing - it was really very good |
| PRESENTATION ROOM TOO HOT!! |
| More demos |
| More seating during coffee & lunch |
| I WOULD HAVE LIKED SOME DEMOS ON DATA MINING/WAREHOUSING. |
| Don't change the timetable |
| Indicate on programme if a presentation has been at Seugi |
| Move nearer Cambridge - so I can avoid M25 to get here. |
| The demo of the Pharma technology SAS Software was a little difficult to follow. OLE/ODBC presentation interesting, but presenting style was dry. |
| If possible make demos shorter and explain more technically advanced, specific questions after presentation. Not working in the clinical team I would benefit from understanding how SAS can be exploited for non-clinical data or epidemiological data |
| Perhaps the day was too long |
| Don't change the agenda too much from when original goes out particularly timelines. |
| More cold drinks |
| Make sure (don't know how) people don't ramble & repeat the same thing over and over. |
| I don't know if it is always the case but there was no taxi at Marlow Station |
| Maybe a teabreak in the morning. |
| Cold soft juice type drinks available during breaks |
| Shorter & more presentation of a technical nature |
| MORE DETAIL ON ODBC & OLE - PRACTICAL EXAMPLE ON WEB WHICH WE CAN REFERENCE |
| VIEWS PharmaSIG - September 1999 |
| Suggestions For Next Time |
| Next_time |
| MORE PHARMATECHNOLOGY PRODUCTS EG PH-KINETIC. APPLICATION OF NEW VERSION 8 C APABILITIES WITHIN THE PHARMA INDUSTRY |
| more technical demos |
| I heard of a tips & techniques event that was scheduled for October of this year. If this is going ahead would you please send me information regarding this. |
| V8 info |
| More Demos |
| Fewer presentations more suited to general conference. and more technical stuff that gives no useable information, or stimulating ideas. |
| One less presentation in the afternoon - was flagging by the last or have lunch later , and lengthen the morning by one presentation. |
| Not specifially next time - would be interested in more information on data mining and its application to database and prospective data analysis to acess potential data sources. |
| If you want to keep the same number of sessions, start earlier & have more breaks. |
| Have more practical solutions like ODBC & OLE presentation. Perhaps how to actually "do" data mining. |
| Maybe a bit more on "how" as well as "what". |
| LARGE DATA - Performance accessing (Technology) what to avoid. Data Model - Preferable for info delivery MDDB! |
| KEEP THE MIX OF UK/EUROPEAN SPEAKERS - INDUSTRY IS INTERNATIONAL |
| See above |
| MORE TECHNICAL PRESENTATIONS AND SHORTER LENGTH |
