EVALUATION COMMENTS 27

28 Comments on 2012 Excellent facilitator, framer and rapporteurs. It was helpful to receive the OECD background report ahead of time. The agenda was clear--not too ambitious and very high quality. The audience lunch discussion was excellent. People were engaged and made valuable connections. The Ministers' lunch was a great addition to the agenda, and I liked the time for each country group to discuss what they learned and their top priority going forward. 90 second closing presentations were focused and clear, aimed at actionable statements. Not enough specific "tie-back" to last year and what each nation has done since the 2011 Summit.

29 Suggestions for 2013 If possible, have more exchange prior to the event, for example, make country background material available in advance. Start the 2013 Summit with country reports on progress made since Spend more time discussing how to implement successful practices. Find a way to bring more depth to the discussions. Plan organized networking so more delegates meet each other. Arrange meeting so observers can see the speakers better. Use technology to gather questions from the audience. Have more follow-on discussion after the Summit, perhaps online. The Summit just whetted the appetite!
