9. The sheer amount of organization at the conference makes me want to go back again next year. With a conference of 10,000 participants and over 400 sessions it can easily become unorganized . However, I couldn’t see one instance of disorganization  There were shuttles that took participants to and from the conference site from all conference hotels.  There were plenty of places to get food during the conference. There were plenty of bathrooms so there wasn’t a wait. There were hundreds of volunteers to direct traffic and answer questions. Even in the exhibit hall with hundreds of vendors, it was not crowded. Instead throughout the three days I noticed that traffic was moved at a nice, easy pace. The ASCD organizers even had transportation to and from the area airports that could take you directly to the conference site daily.
