futures conference reaction

This might be an unpopular opinion, but I was a little disappointed in the presentations at the Futures Conference. Our section was set up in a way that all the groups would present and then we would have questions at the end. We were told to take notes so we’d have some talking points, but I think waiting until the end to ask questions took away from the potential of it all. In addition, most of the presentations in our section didn’t have much to do with an issue or policy proposal, but rather it was just a research report; while I did learn some interesting things in those presentations, I just felt like I was expecting so much more, especially given how hard our class worked to come up with very creative and possible solutions for issues that’ll impact the future of NYC.
