Conclusion : 

Insights from feedback forms or discussions : 

Most participants were satisfied and shared positive feedback about the workshop.

Summary of the overall success of the workshop : 

Participants highlighted how stimulating and challenging the workshop was, expressing satisfaction at learning new concepts. The turnout was impressive, with the room almost completely full.

Future recommendations for workshops : 

For future workshops, punctuality should be emphasized as a key factor in maintaining a well-structured and efficient schedule. It is also important to choose a room with adequate lighting and a layout that allows power strips to be distributed evenly across the space. All technical equipment should be tested and confirmed to be in proper working order prior to the event. Additionally, ensuring that speakers have access to a reliable Wi-Fi connection will contribute to smoother and more professional presentations.

The workshop took place as part of the IEEE Day activities
