A. Summit Location and Time of Year

1. This is the first time we've taken the Summit outside of Washington, DC. What, in general, did you think of this move to Montreal and running this in conjunction with Pop Montreal?

2. This year's Summit was scheduled for early October to run in conjunction with Pop Montreal. We also know it's Canadian Thanksgiving and Columbus Day weekend. Is this a convenient time and, if not, do you have other suggestions?

3. McGill's Schulich School of Music was a good location in Montreal for this type of event.

4. The sound systems in Pollack and Tanna Halls were adequate (easy to hear and see panelists/speakers)

5. Any other thoughts about the location or facilities?
