Better survey would be: How likely are you to recommend event to a friend. #2 And why. Food was very good. Thank you !!1

Broader attendance from non-CELAA business community1

exceeded my expectation1

Room was extremely warm, not alot of traffice other than other CEL businesses1

the bar for cocktails should be located at the back of the exhibit hall. many of the party attendees did not come in to view the1
