Good space, nice food, I think the nasty weather kept people from attending which was too bad. I met some interesting members and reconnected with some people I knew. I was sorry to see so few donations for the Open Door Shelter.

The meeting was good and there appeared to be a lot of excellent networking. Facilities are immaculate and staff extremely helpful. Bob and Harrison did a fine job of coordination and the remarks were short and appropriate.

— Dennis Magid

Always a well done and entertaining time... Bob and Harrison do a terrific job...Congrats

— Mitch Beck

I met many new people and enjoyed connecting w/ a few old friends!

— Candace Brindley

No real food!

— Barry Urich

Bob, you did a super job organizing a nice event at a great location. Thank you!

— David Fischer

Very fine venue, good food, and quality people. I think the weather and the lack of lighting at the entrance and the roads inside the site were not helpful. The organizers as always did their part.

— Robert L Friedman

It was great to be in an outdoor environment. Although the weather was hot the cruise around the harbor created the perfect breeze. Caught up with an old friend I hadn't seen in a long time!

Even the heat didn't bring this group down!

The most important aspect of any party is to be prepared to serve the needs of the guests. With a 6PM arrival, guests are ready to eat dinner. There should have been enough food for the 200-250 guests expected. If The Island Belle allows a host to bring their own food on the vessel, its mgt should reserve the right to approve the menu and require there be enough food available for guest consumption because if the menu is not planned properly it will be a reflection on The Island Belle as it was at last night's event. There are formulas caterers use to insure there is an adequate amount of food available for an event. Jeff's Cuisine provided the amount of food that was paid for. Had he known there were 200-250 people expected he should have refused to provide food for the event because his name was on the menu. If you have ever eaten at Jeff's Cuisine in SONO you know his food is excellent!

Excellent networking event and venue!

Harrison did a great job!!!!

It could have been better with more organization. - Nametags should had made a difference (Name/Co. represented) This way was easier to spot your target audience and viceversa. - Create a microsite with information about exhibitors/table booths so pple know ahead of time who was gonna be there, also this will be useful after the event because if you missed talking/networking you can go back to this site and get companies information. I am graphic designer and work with the conference dept. to coordinate their online/print promotions. See you next time

I thought networking on the water was a GREAT way to meet people from all different work backgrounds & make new connections. I would definately attend again.

— Dean Radice Sr

What a great night for a breezy boat ride and gorgeous sunset!

— RK

Great people, great setting. Hot night with blowing wind and setting sun over calm waters. Seek and you shall find....

— Peter S.

The event was nice and I got to meet some new people. The views from the water were nice. The one thing that may have worked better is if you had people volunteer to bring chips or small appetizers. That way cost is low and you can supplement what the caterer serves also. For those who came late there was not a lot of food available. But the price was reasonable and fair. On ticketing, there should have been better follow through for those who pay. No one checked my ticket. Just some thoughts.

Its a wonderful thing that the boat left the dock.....fun night, fun venue

— Carla Cinti

What a great time, it was a little hot with AC not working but we did get a little cooler as we went out on a short cruise.

— Bob Tonne

Met dif crowd full of interesting folks. Nice experience on the boat. Great at this x of year! So it was fun and biz combined. Thanks

— Andrea Polivy

Had a good time! Met a lot of interesting people, and made some connections for my business. Enjoyed the boat ride.

— Joseph DiTomaso

The boat was great; I'm glad it finally left the dock. The networking was difficult for two reasons: 1. There was such a diverse crowd that, pooled together, I simply would never had enough time to sort through them for someone I could relate to in a business sense. 2. I noticed many clusters of people together who formed a ring; they obviously knew each other, but it was not open to outsiders.

— Bill

It was stiflingly hot until the boat got moving. Thanks for hauling in the anchor and taking us for that cruise! There were a lot of great people onboard.

— Seth Lefferts

Ahh … the sea breeze, the salt spray, yachting is always a great venue! Lots of interesting people and good conversations and there’s nothing like hot buffalo wings on a night of 110° Fahrenheit. Thank you for setting it up.

— David

Good event, well put together, talked witha lot of good people

— Bill Mellott

Great event, interesting people and lots of fun.

— Deborah Quinn

Great ride on the boat, some positive networking in a cheery atmosphere. Nicely Done. The food perhaps could have lasted longer tho!
