Among the responses so far were two from people who haven't attended since the late 1990s, as well as four from people who have attended 26 or more Congresses. Over half of respondents rate playing in tournaments as their favorite thing about Congress, while 28% of attendees say their favorite part is learning from pros, and 27% say their favorite part is spending time with friends (people seem to have multiple favorites).
Interestingly, 36% of respondents would like to attend the European Go Congress and 34.5 say they'd maybe like to, but only 8.5% actually have attended.
Feedback from everyone – longtime attendees, new players, and everyone in between – will help the AGA make the next U.S. Go Congress in Estes Park (August 1-9, 2020) a better event for everyone! Click here now to complete the survey if you haven't already.
