"Excellent! Thanks always for taking the time to organize this invaluable meeting. The food, host, and people were all very nice. It's too bad I didn't get to say hello to some people I met in the last meeting. I signed up for iRise demo through Jessica... I hope to receive the demo link soon." -

Matt Hays
"The demonstration was excellent. Although I don't think it was intentional, I really liked how the presenter kept being prompted (by our questions and other iRise employees) that, oh yeah, there are these other awesome features of iRise. As far as our meetings in general are concerned: There are some fatal flaws in the idea of a "Who's Hiring?" session. Consider that some in attendance may have recently interviewed other members for jobs. It would be quite awkward for an applicant to see the interviewer stand up at LA-UX and say "Yes, I'm still looking to fill [this position]" ...in front of the applicant...and a few dozen other community members." -

"Crowd was great and diverse. Demo was interesting. Food was fabulous. Venue was the best so far." -
Jonathan Lane
"Great food. Invite companies that charge ludicrous fees for their software more often! The added social time was great. In the future, I'd love to see an opportunity for 20-minute meet-n-greet groups. Six or seven tables of 10-15 people each, no set discussion topics, just "get to know people" opportunities. Also, it might be nice to start each meeting with announcements by anyone looking to hire giving out their e-mail address or business card to folks looking for work." -

"I've always been curious about iRise and never fully understood it from their website, so it was nice to see the tool in action. "
