If CiB posts have been a little light over the past few days (and they have) then it’s been because I was doing a blogging/social reporting job for Hello Digital and the associated conference, Hello World.
As a result there’s plenty of stuff (reports from conference sessions, short interviews with speakers, photos and a liveblog) to browse through on the Hello Digital blog.
Personally, I very much enjoyed the whole thing, but that kind of feedback won’t necessarily make for a better event next year. So, it’s good to see the organisers are already soliciting feedback via their blog.
If you’ve got any gripes, suggestions or requests for more of the same (I thought the calibre of speakers was particularly good) then let them know in the comments on their blog. Or here if you like, and I’ll pass comments on.
To get you started, I’d ask for:
- The programme (or some of it, or at the very least the dates) to be announced earlier
- Better (and open) wireless internet provision
- Conference sessions to be streamed live to the internet
- More fringe/evening events to be provided/encouraged
How are fringe/evening events to be provided and encouraged? Would they send a ‘pay cash’ cheque to an individual to create a fringe activity? My point, what is fringe if it has a number of decision makers making recommendations to suit ‘said’ agenda? Surely a contradiction here? I’m all for fringe especially if they occur during the daytime including week days (entertainment not as you might expect, inside working hours!). No there’s a thought. Let’s break some rules!
