All presentation must be uploaded for download after the session has been delivered

Schedule presentation in correctly sized room
It's not acceptable to have presentations in room that cannot accommodate those who to attend.
Streaming is not a substitute for a full room when you at the conference in person.

I believe if you have paid for a precon event you should be able to get the video of that event without having to pay for it.

Session Surveys should have a way to tell me which sessions I've reviewed
Since the survey machines where so conveniently located, when I had a few minutes I would go ahead and fill in a few, but by the end of the 2nd day I couldn't remember which sessions I had reviewed. Since you ask for an email address with the survey, you should be able to link my surveys back to my account, and at least list the sessions I've reviewed, so I can see the gaps. Perhaps just a 3 day table with timeslots down the side, green with session review completed for this slot and white for not reviewed timeslot.…

stop trying to sell us on SharePoint!!!

Crystal Reports has been able to report on cubes for 20 years!

Have a closing session speaker
(I've made this suggestion this in the past, at the Meet the Board session at the Summit and in conference feedback)
I'd like to suggest scheduling a closing keynote session, held at the end of the final day of the Summit. I've seen this done at other conferences, and I've really enjoyed it. They tend to be more along the motivational or thought-provoking lines. Someone like Stephen Covey (if he hadn't died this year), Clifford Stoll (who wrote the Cuckoo's Egg, and is very vocal about the use and limits of technology in education), or Clayton Christensen (who wrote The…

Provide coffee and continental breakfast during morning sessions
Especially during the keynotes--we need coffee and something to eat in the morning in the break areas.

Keep it in Seattle.
I'm sure I am not alone in this, but I am not convinced PASS could possibly get the same level of support it gets from Microsoft when the Summit is held outside of Seattle.

Water Bottles at break
I don't drink soda. Can we please have water bottles or bigger cups. Those little cups are going to last me through a presentation and they can spill easily.

Better seating arrangements
Make better use of aisle seating to increase the utilization rather than packing in as many seats as possible.

Schedule session tracks in rooms close to each other.
There was alot of hiking around the conference center for classes that were the same track. It would be nice if they were located closer to each other.
