Last month, an event took place in Minneapolis that could very well change the face of meetings to come. The Event Camp Twin Cities program centered on four words - social, innovation, collaboration, experimentation. And with more than 550 people participating online and over 100 people participating in three face-to-face sites, that innovative meeting experiment was a success. The event's volunteer organizers, Samuel J. Smith and Ray Hansen, sought a safe environment where event professionals could push the boundaries of the traditional face to face meeting by trying new things: live webcasting to a remote audience, an online host, international PODS connected with videoconferencing, alternative session formats like Pecha Kucha and game simulations, plus improv, storyslam, a digital scavenger hunt and more. Join the Event Camp Twin Cities co-founders as they reflect on how they did it, what they learned and why the end result was an experience people are still talking, blogging and tweeting about more than a month later: - Understand how hybrid event technology, social media and collaborative formats can be used together successfully - Review the checklist of the technology they tried, how it worked and what they'd do differently next time - Get inspired through their photos, screen shots and anecdotes to introduce new formats, technology and entertainment at your next event - And bring your most pressing questions about how to successfully blend social media, collaborative communities, webcasting and other meeting technology
