Comments on: Maximising your event amplification http://www.jisc.ac.uk/blog/conference/ Thu, 28 Feb 2013 06:45:34 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v= By: Dom http://www.jisc.ac.uk/blog/conference/#comment-994 Dom Thu, 26 Apr 2012 15:40:27 +0000 http://www.jisc.ac.uk/blog/?p=578#comment-994 A very good insight into event amplification! I was recently interviewed by WinkBall reporters at a conference. They walk around with hand held cameras, asking attendees questions relating to the event. I am considering using them for an event I am putting on in late 2012, because it would really capture the atmosphere and the emotion through the views of the people. The content is instantly tweetable, I've also heard you can embed one of their video walls - the WHOLE thing - on your Facebook page. I think they have great potential for event amplification.

I couldn't figure out how to move to a different hall though I sent notes out in Linked In, Twitter and email. Completed the questionnaire saying I was happy to be interviewed only to stumble on the last question as the answer wouldn't 'Fix' so repeatedly failed to load. I wonder if therefore anyone was able to register for this? Is it a fault of the Google Chrome browser or my running too much on the laptop. I’ve only be able to follow one thread.

The plan is to view, blog, Twitter, link to Facebook, my OU Blog or WordPress blog as the event spills out ... screen grabbing to illustrate as I go along. I dare so I could Skype a delegate and even go live myself once I've had a shave and put in my contact lenses.

I think if you do go down this route then a couple of things you really need to think about is how to integrate these 'off site' participants into the activities on the day - taking questions from Twitter for plenaries etc - and also having a resource to communicate with the backchannel - not just monitor it. This can need someone with a hide like a rhino and an ability to manage expectations but the benefits outweigh the issues (IMO).. Great post Grace..
