Which attendee was this? Your wish came true

I know this is going to sound funny...

During the last few events, I've heard people complain about chairs of all things. I know when I go to events my back is a wreck because of those awful chairs they use.

On one of the survey forms this past CFUnited someone wrote a detailed suggestion about having more comfortable chairs.

The conference gods have answered your prayers. I couldn't believe it when I walked into Lansdowne Conference Center and saw the room chairs. I asked if this was a joke because all the chairs are Ergonomic! I sat in one of them and thought to myself - this chair is better than the one I have a my home office!

I know to some people this doesn't make a difference. But to others having comfort while away from home is important.

So to whoever made that suggestion, thank you. I'm glad we could make one more attendee happy.

BTW, there are many more wishes we are granting this year. I hope its your wish, too! ;-)

Raymond Camden's Gravatar Wow, that's nice. The chairs really do bug me, so it's nice to see we will have some fancy things to rest our rears on. :)

ike's Gravatar Great step in the right direction. (The conference center.) Although we apparently still need to inform them that not all humans are precisely 12-16 inches wide. My SO, Tiffany wouldn't be able to sit in those chairs... as is the case in somewhere around 90% of the places we go.

Liz Frederick's Gravatar Gotcha, I'll have them put some regular chairs without arm rests in every room just case. Thanks for the heads up.

ike's Gravatar Thanks Liz. :) Although Tiff's never attended a conference with me, I know there are always other folks who have that same issue. :)
