How could this Workshop have been improved?

More tables - many groups of 2 had to be split up
Better sound system
At least 1 hour for the open forum
It would be interesting to have fishermen and buyers from different areas present the biggest “current”
challenges facing the industry, especially questions about the lobster resource that could potentially be answered by existing science or future research
Posters should be same level as talks
There should be talks given by fishermen
Distribution of reading materials several days before Workshop would have enhanced understanding and interest
There should be a bit more time for keynote speakers
There should be more industry presentations
A little less technical
Dynamically generate a list of points to act on, and appoint people/groups to address; action = results
Should be a bigger screen; hard to see screen from back of room
Should have a list of attendees in proceedings
Evaluation form could include a place to suggest future topics and/or speakers
Should have fruit at morning break
