Comment on What Does Virtual Annual Look Like to You? by lukethelibrarian

i haven’t been to ala for a couple of years, but this caught my attention because i just finished attending the educause 2009 online conference — see http://www.educause.edu/E2009/Online/Program — which was the absolute best execution of an online meeting that i have yet seen. they used a combination of adobe connect and sonic foundry mediasite, complemented by effective interactions with a organizer-created ning group and user-created twitter and google-wave backchannels — plenty of virtual lobby space. two of the three plenary speakers — lawrence lessig and brenda gourley of the uk open university — gave permission for their addresses to be webcast, so it’s worth asking others. registration for online conference was $100 less than in-person, but included the recordings package normally sold for $300. i would encourage ala planning folks to contact the organizers & facilitators of the online event, starting with Carie Page. they truly would be my example of a model to emulate.

The system will prompt mentors and mentorees every few months to ensure they are staying in touch. [...]

What about Wednesday….Council III (for the last time, at this conference) was on Wednesday so there were people there and tweeting the activity. Can you break Wednesday out of the “after the conference” number?

So, if you are a speaker at the ALA 2009 Annual Conference in Chicago, this is the place for you to upload your handouts, or to publish links to your material, if it is resident on another site….
