I often feel I'm wasting too much time if I attend a "1.0" conference unless I myself am presenting. We've already begun to implement a lot of these ideas into our Teaching with Technology Idea Exchange 2008: http://ttix.org We're going to expand on this next year, but recognize that after the technology and structure is conducive to what you're calling "2.0" conferencing, the final success of the event will be in the hands of participants and presenters.

But many of the presentations given where totally 1.0 and the online networking services were used by very few.<br/><br/>I totaly agree that it is not about technical gadgets. It is about transparency, immersive two-way communication and total focus on easeof use and inspiring the audience to to lean forward and really participate. Hi Jaan,
I attended the FOWA conference by Carsonified and it was indeed valuable, and there were many laptops and iPhones in the audience. But many of the presentations given where totally 1.0 and the online networking services were used by very few.

I totaly agree that it is not about technical gadgets. It is about transparency, immersive two-way communication and total focus on easeof use and inspiring the audience to to lean forward and really participate.

While I like your suggestions for a next gen of conferences, I can't help but feel that these are already in existence.<br/><br/>I highly recommend for example the <a HREF="http://www.carsonified.com/" REL="nofollow">Carsonified </a> conferences, they meet almost every criteria on your list.<br/><br/>"Lend all delegates a wireless laptop for feedback and input"... In my experience most conference attendees already carry a laptop/blackberry/iPhone or similar. The issue with low feedback levels is not the device, it is the context and the ease of use in which it can be given.<br/><br/>Hope to see you at a conference soon! Henrik,

Interesting post. While I like your suggestions for a next gen of conferences, I can’t help but feel that these are already in existence.

I highly recommend for example the Carsonified conferences, they meet almost every criteria on your list.

“Lend all delegates a wireless laptop for feedback and input”… In my experience most conference attendees already carry a laptop/blackberry/iPhone or similar. The issue with low feedback levels is not the device, it is the context and the ease of use in which it can be given.

Hope to see you at a conference soon!

Furthermore, I like your suggested concepts for Conference 2.0, even though I’m not very keen on adding “2.0″ or “e-” on every new idea to get them accepted in the web world :)

People should use their own computers to save the environment. <br/><br/>Reboot.dk in Copenhagen is quite close to your concept.

See you next year !

Today, they seem more as marketing tool for the people doing the presenation and they could be really old schhol.

In mnay cases the time you spend on the conference is better used staying at home reading blogs since thye provide a higer value!
