Here at work, when they have a training session they always have a form 
to drop off on the way out.  Perhaps one of the panelists would hand 
them out at the beginning and collect them at the end.  Make it a 
requirement for getting 'comped.

What ever happened to the idea where we've arranged with people or 
vendors to hold actual meaningful training sessions (low cost) on a 
variety of technical subjects?  They would be held on Thursdays & 
Fridays prior to the con.  The training cost would include full membership.

I suggest making up a sheet listing all the panels, along with some kind of rating system (e.g., 1-5).  Attendees can rate the panels they attend and drop the form off at Ops at the end of the con.
