What conference organisers need to know about weblogs
Categorised under: Weblogs
Lee LeFever has posted a blog entry on weblogs and conferences. To quote:
Over dinner last weekend, I had a discussion with some folks who run conferences for a software company here in Seattle. These folks were concerned about the weblogging of conferences. Their concern wasn’t rooted in the fact that it was happening, but how to understand it and act upon what was being said.
One of their leading concerns was how to keep track of how the weblog world was reacting to the conference. They seemed genuinely interested in how they could make conferences better by understanding the weblog community.
I think this is a really interesting perspective on the use of blogging at conferences. I only wish that Australian conferences offered wireless access, which is simply becoming assumed in the US. Sigh.
