Yes! Over the years, we've had a person complain about one thing or another at an event -- but rarely do they offer a
solution on how to improve the situation. Sometimes distance is needed (from someone not involved in the planning) to see an area that can be improved.
On the flip side, someone might suggest something that they believe is a viable solution to a problem, but the organizing group has already considered that option and it is not "doable" for whatever reason.
Either way, present your disappointment in a constructive way. You never know, your solution might be the exact way that situation could be handled in the future!
