Review of Connecticut Convention Center

The convention center was clean, easily accessible...

The convention center was clean, easily accessible, and overall I had a great experience.

I did find the staff that supported the lunch sessions during the conference I attended, to be very rude and generally unhappy. That was unfortunate. They spent most of their time guarding the beverages to be sure each person only took one (which I completely understand, as I have hosted events before and that is a huge hosting cost), but they never smiled or greeted you. If I said hello, they essentially just glared, or maybe gave me a head nod.

Of the hundreds of conferences I have attended, it is also at least tied, if not the winner, for the coldest event room I have ever been in. Definitely bring layers! I was so frozen by the time I got back to my hotel room each night, that I could not get the shower water warm enough, to thaw myself out. I cranked it up as hot as it would go, and literally stood under the water for 10 minutes, just trying to stop shivering.

Everything went pretty smoothly overall, and I enjoyed the conference.
