There has been a number of reflections on how online conferences could be difference, and this post looks at a few of them. One idea comes from Online Town a clever video format where you can mingle as you might at a reception. Another is Matt Webb's proposal for a month long conference, which we covered here a few days ago. Another is Qiqo chat for Zoom with collaborative documents allowing participants to move themselves into different breakout rooms. We've seen variations of all of these before, and much more besides, but I don't think the ultimate formula for online conferences has been found yet.
