Post-Convention Survey

Every Convention we look for ways to make the next one even better. One of the tools we use to do that is to ask participants what they thought. We'd like to hear your thoughts, comments & suggestions regarding the 2008 Annual ATIA Convention & Trade Show.

We've put together an internet survey that should take only a few minutes to complete - please take the time to fill it out so that we can use your input to make future conventione even better! Your e-mail suggestions to Leslie Bodley are also welcome.
