Your thoughts are right on, as in this tough economy many of us can not attend these marquis events and at least with virtual access we can benefit from the education and ideas presented. Hopefully ASAE will choose to make this content available in the future virtually! @michaelmccurry @MsStallings,

ASAE did do a great job of engaging their audience of attendees through your above-mentioned social media campaigns. I am in agreement with you--it would have been nice if they could've web cast just one or two sessions to engage those of us who couldn't attend due to budget cuts, etc. We want to go to these events! Badly! Especially in such a challenging economy - we want to learn! However - we want the organizers of such events to help us by allowing access to atleast a virtual preview of the value, so we can justify the expense of attending to those who determine the budgets. Kudos to those who are embracing technology and social media in the event world. Hoping they understand that these days it takes more than it used to to justify expenses to decision-makers. A complimentary preview/enticement of the value of the event will get more folks onboard. Nice post, Mike!
