Glad they realize that, a single misstep like that is always what sticks out in people's minds unfortunately so they'll forget how well things were going until that point and after it. A pretty good conference turns into "terrible" pretty quickly and easily.

I wouldn't go as far as to call it "terrible", but it definitely went from being very good to mediocre. But you're right about a single misstep souring an entire conference.
