Improving Conferences: Upcoming Discussion, Free & Online
My various rants on my frustration with many conferences has led to something. Who knew?
Spaces of Interaction: An Online Conversation on Improving Traditional Conferences is a free, two-day online conversation this week, Feb 18-20.
Throughout the two days, you can tune in and listen to folks like Jay Cross talk about "The Tyranny of Powerpoint" or Teemu Arina talk about "Using Social Media to Run Better Events."You can view a nifty Flash presentation on why we need this virtual conversation or just visit the Conference community site.
I'll be participating on Friday afternoon (4 pm EST) on a panel with Tony Karrer called Engagement: Improving conferences through increased
participation. While it focuses on education, I think that the conversations at this complete event would benefit any conference organizer or attendee that wants to improve their conference experience.
