Ask small groups of attendees to brainstorm the best ideas they've heard at a conference, and then work together as a team to develop a synthesis of the key insights from the event. If you want to make it fun, then make it a competition, and ask each team to develop a product that incorporates all of the best ideas. (If the conference is about new approaches to meetings, then each team should design a radical new model for meetings, for example.) Then you can offer a prize to the team with the best idea. This creates 1) GREAT interactions among attendees, 2) great lists of "big ideas" that can be shared, and 3) a collection of models for how attendees would USE this great content (new ideas filtered through the collective experience/expertise of the attendee population). I haven't seen anyone try this virtually -- using Twitter as a synthesis tool is pretty interesting! I’ve found co-creation to be an extremely valuable tool in f2f events as well.

It truly has been an enriching experience using this approach with blog posts. I actually posted two articles for ASAE09 as well using the same techniques. I can't wait to see the blog post you generate from your webinar... please let me know when it is available @michaelmccurry @Brian Slawin,

While I was alone in my office, I felt connected to the event through live streams, Tweets, some phone calls with colleagues and partners both virtually attending and at the event and now, the opportunity to expand that into a virtually attended blog posting. Live blogging has become quite popular, perhaps doing so virtually with crowdsourced content can be as well. LOVE IT . . . I'm going to try this at the next webinar I attend and see if I can crowdsource a blog post from the tweets. Great idea.
