I have to agree. I really appreciated the written feedback that I received from my presentation. I also appreciated the chance to respond to other presenters, as writing down my thoughts deepened my own thinking. I love the idea of sharing drafts of articles to get feedback.

Marcy's suggestions sound very helpful. I find the written feedback very
important because I have something to take home with me and to refer to
as I continue working on what I presented. For example, seeing what
others felt was important, what stuck out for them, and how they
perceived what I presented helps me focus and think about my audience as
I keep writing about that work. This is something that you usually don't
get at other conferences. It's almost a little bit like peer review in
the sense of supporting the writer's or speaker's work and helping them
take the next step.

At Inkshed 14 (my god! It couldn't have been that
long ago!!) we structured reading time into the
program, partly to address this need. People were
encouraged to submit written texts on which other
Inkshedders could read and comment. The idea was to
devote some time as a group to responding to those
texts; I don't think we did that part very well, but
perhaps if there was a way to bring those texts back
to the larger group, it would be more attractive to
people to submit papers rather than stand and deliver
them.
