    Great organization and highly engaged attendees!
    What did you like best about the event?
    Support from the organizing team leading up to the event as a speaker was excellent. They were helpful and communicative about the event details.
    What could the organizers do to improve the event?
    A small but noticeable improvement would be better-quality badges. The badges were made of folded paper, and mine ripped fairly quickly where the lanyard attached. It wasn’t a major issue, but it was a minor inconvenience that could easily be avoided.

    Great venue with excellent networking opportunities for speakers.
    What did you like best about the event?
    The variety of talks and overall program were excellent. The venue, speaker facilities, and incredibly pleasant atmosphere also made the experience very enjoyable.
    What could the organizers do to improve the event?
    The amount of overlapping programming made it very difficult to choose which talks to attend. I also wish some sessions had been vetted more carefully, particularly those focused on AI, as the quality of at least one was quite poor.

    Gamescom Dev was well put together with a wide variety of talks!
    What did you like best about the event?
    Very strong communication from the organizers. I felt that getting tickets, finding talks, and events surrounding Gamescom Dev were easy.
    What could the organizers do to improve the event?
    More promotion of individual talks ahead of the event would be helpful. I feel we could do more in advance to build awareness of the sessions.
