Making Conferences Worthwhile - 0 views

Mathieu Plourde on 16 Oct 13"It got me thinking about what types of experiences are best suited for real physical conference events. Unless we get a chance to interact, ask questions, contribute to conversations, get hands on experience, and do things that require your actual physical presence, then perhaps those other things don't belong in a real physical conference. I feel a bit cheated when I go to an event (and pay good money to do so) only to feel as though what I experienced could have been just as well communicated virtually through video or some other means. I feel a bit the same when I go to a real physical conference and find that one of the "keynotes" is being beaming in via satellite on a big screen that we all just sit and watch. I expect better than that."
