Does a conference stop when you leave the final session and head home? In analogue days you may have received a printed follow-up to the session you’d been in and you would have had your notes but aside from that there was little scope for the conference to live on.
Not any more. Digital provides a range of ways to keep the conference experience, content and conversation alive well beyond its physical incarnation.
A good example of how this is happening is the CIPD’s annual conference and exhibition. Above, is the video DPG has created to show what they were doing at the event.
And Ian Pettigrew has curated content from all the conference sessions using a tool called Storify below. As you can see, a wealth of information, insight and reflection is included which makes this a valuable resource for the future.
Finally, artist Simon Heath, who was drawing his reflections from the conference has shared a slide deck of his images below. Again, this is a great resource that can be referenced, used and shared into the future.
Do you have examples of how you are keeping face to face learning events alive once the physical event has taken place?
