Dear
Sylvia and Michael,
Thanks for the feedback and for a good
meeting - I enjoyed it a lot.
The social element of the meeting is
special so this should only be emphasize
in my opinion.
The poster session was fine, although the
ones facing the wall left a very small
corridor to traverse - maybe this setup
could be improved.
On the topics it's obvious NGS is taking
more and more attention - also here. I
guess this is inevitable.
Finally - it was an excellent party to
shake up things.
Best wishes,

Hi Michael,
This year's
event again fulfilled our expectations.
As gold sponsors at the event, focused
on the latest trends in molecular
biology and software development, we
were able to present our scientific
research and products, and concluded
several successful meetings with the
leading decision makers in the industry.
We would recommend qPCR & NGS Event
to everyone who is interested in
relevant scientific content and meeting
the key opinion leaders from the qPCR
and NGS industry.

Dear Sylvia
Here are some comments from my side:
PRO’s:
- This was my first time as this
conference and I really enjoyed the open
and informal setting, the ease to move
about and connect, even when you don’t
know anybody yet and the relaxed
atmosphere.
- The conference size (number of
people and number of sessions + number
of talks) was perfect.
- I also liked that there were two
parallel sessions that were different,
so you could choose which best suits
your interest.
- I liked that there were many
companies present with stands to visit
to get more information on the latest
commercial technologies.
- The poster session reception with
buffet snacks and drinks on Monday
evening was great!
- The fact that the symposium can
be combined with a workshop of choice at
the same location was superb.
- Great that all talks will be made
available to all conference visitors.
- I also really enjoyed reading the
BDQ edition that was handed out.
- I learned a lot!!!
CON’s:
- I
knew this beforehand, but still missed a
lot the application possibilities in
prokaryotes as the focus of the
symposium is very much on human/mouse
applications and RNA expression.
- The
website is very unclear and
amateuristic.
- The
conference is quite expensive. There
were foods and drinks provided all the
time – this was very luxurious and I
enjoyed it, but may not be necessary and
could save costs?
With
kind regards

Dear
Mrs. and Mr. Pfaffl,
I would also like to thank you from my side
for organizing such a great event (which I
unfortunately only now realized existed)! It
is a highly productive mix of exquisite and
informative up-to-date scientific talks, a
manageable amount of industrial partners
offering a wide range of interesting
products and, of course, one-of-a-kind
social events! I very much enjoyed myself
scientifically and personally 😊
If there is a link to a survey form, please
send it to me. I’d be happy to fill it in.
Best wishes,
Kevin Gesson

Hi Michael,
I arrived home safely thanks. Many thanks
for another great meeting - lots of fun as
always!
The posters you list are the correct ones.
There used to be a bigger infectious
diseases / microbiology component to the
conference. Cancer, exosomes, eukaryotic
microRNA profiling etc seems to have taken
over. It might be good to run a
microbiology and infectious diseases
applications session next time.
Jim and I would be happy to chair!
Many thanks again.

Dear Michael, Sylvia and Martina
Thanks for your email. And a
HUGE thanks for putting on such a
fantastic event. We found the event
to be exceptionally well organised.
The qualityof all of the hospitality and
entertainment was exceptional. All
of the bioMCC team were enormously
friendly and helpful too.As always the
scientific content of the event was
varied. Some good, some not so good,
but this is not under your control!
However there was a lot ofexcellent
science presented and some real
highlights...not least Kary
Mulis'captivating talk on the Monday
afternoon.
Thanks again and we look forward
to attending again in future.

Dear

Thanks for a great meeting.
As a recommendation, I would suggest that
your emphasize even better that commercial
companies come with a scientific talk, and
not plain marketing story.

Dear
organisers,
It was a pleasure attending and
participating in the qPCR2011 Event. I
especially liked the accent on new
developments and the presence of speakers
with broad experience in the field. Together
with the possibilities to directly contact
the industry made the visit absolutely
worthwhile.
I don’t know if separate sessions and
discussion sessions really add to the
quality of the event. Better keep the
quality of the speakers as high as possible
and focused on the scope of new
technological advancements.
Thanks again for giving me the opportunity
to present my work and looking forward to a
next qPCR event,

Dear organizers,
I would like to thank a lot for
great organization and management of the
conference, everything worked in good
order. The lectures were very attractive
and the speakers were amazing. I am
looking forward for their presentations,
because unfortunatelly I was not present
at all of the lectures I wanted to be at
due to the similar timing, so thanks for
the opportunity of recordings. I was
really delighted by the catering service,
all the lunches and especially by the
social evening in the brewery, that was
fantastic!
See you maybe at the next
conference/event...
Kind regards,

Dear
qPCR 2011 Team,
Thank you very much for your wonderful
organization. Everything was great. I really
enjoyed the meeting, the workshops, and my
stay in Freising.
When I came back to my university, I
mentioned a lot about your organization to
my colleagues. Although everyone thinks the
payment is very much for a student, as for
me it was worth.
Freising is a very beautiful and peaceful
city so do the campus. As a student I really
get jealous the students of TUM. I would
like to do my PhD at such a university.
It was a full scientific and social
enthusiasm week for me, thank you for
organizing this type of successful occasions
for us.
I look forward the coming qPCR Events (may
be qPCR 2012).

Dear Michael and Sylvia,
Thank you
for the opportunity to participate in your
fantastic meeting. You are wonderful
and gracious hosts and I appreciate all
the work you and your team did to provide
the meeting as well as the extra
curricular events.
The Pros
of the meeting for me were: 1.
Learning about the new developments in the
emerging areas of single cell analysis and
digital qPCR. 2. I enjoyed the next
gen sequencing presentations, especially
the non-commercial presentations.
3. The meeting layout and program
promoted networking and sharing ideas with
others. 4. The support staff was
outstanding and did a great job at both
the meeting and non-meeting events.
The only
Con I have is the high level of commercial
presentations that were part of the
program. Some vendors did try to
give a more scientific style of
presentation. But there were a few that
gave more of a sales pitch than
science. Perhaps it could be
encouraged that if a vendor wants to
present at the meeting that they ask a
non-company scientist who has been using
their product to speak.

Dear,
Comments:
+ Supernice meeting: one
to come back to !
- Posterhall should be
opened longer than until 3pm
- To my opinion, every
topic should start with a long plenary
session giving an overview of all the
basic information and briefly
some updates, prospects, problems...,
followed by shorter talks (without the
same introduction) about new methods,
applications,...
Best regards, Mario.

Dear qPCR 2011 organisers,
The conference was excellent and very
enjoyable.
The content of the seminars was excellent-
but in some cases the chairs did not
exercise quite enough discipline regarding
time (this is important with parallel
sessions).
The advertised poster sessions, apart from
the Monday night (which was excellent,
well attended and plenty of discussion!)
were not well attended.
The catering at this conference was the
best I have ever experienced (and I am a
veteran of many conferences).
It would be helpful to have a few more
accommodation options linked to the
conference site (or linked more
prominently, if they were already there).
Best regards, and thanks again for a great
conference.

organization team,
Thank you very much for an excellent qPCR
Event! I very much enjoyed both the
symposium and the industrial exhibition, but
unfortunately, I did not have the chance to
partake in the application workshops at this
occasion. All in all we had a great stay in
Freising and at the Technical University of
Munich. Looking forward to reviewing some of
the excellent presentations, and of course,
the symposium photo gallery from the event.
Wish you all a great Easter from all of us
