@MichaelMcCurry Interesting. Because it created some really heated dialogue. #eventprofs |

csalomonlee: |
@jaysmet thanks for the link - looks interesting. should we look into the free vs. charge debate? what do you think? #eventprofs |
| 8:12 pm |

@ready2spark It did for sure particularly about free versus paid virtual content #eventprofs |

@MichaelMcCurry What are your thoughts? #eventprofs |

@MichaelMcCurry @ready2spark too bad @jeffhurt isn't with us tonight. would like to hear his thoughts #eventprofs |
| 8:13 pm |
jaysmet: |
Heated dialogue re: "free" mostly took place elsewhere. The paying attendees seemed happy to have exclusive access #eventprofs |
| 8:13 pm |
csalomonlee: |
So everyone - what are you thoughts about paying for virtual content? Should it be free? #eventprofs |
| 8:13 pm |
csalomonlee: |
@jaysmet in what way? would love to hear more since you were there, right? #eventprofs |
| 8:13 pm |
ready2spark: |
@jaysmet Was 'paid' exclusively available to members of MPI only? I was out of the loop on this issue. #eventprofs |
| 8:14 pm |
MichaelMcCurry: |
@csalomonlee I wrote this article on the subject http://tinyurl.com/nxohc5 #eventprofs |

Asked MPI CEO about the "conversation within MPI". They don't want attendees to "subsidize" free content for non-attendees #eventprofs |

| 8:15 pm |

Talk about Social Media - Fad or real marketing tool. (In room of 15 ppl, I had 'met ' 5 online already - SM is here to stay! #eventprofs |

@KarenBrown Were there any chats on expansion strategies in a down economy? #eventprofs |

MichaelMcCurry: |
@jaysmet there really are a lot of good ideas out there and in reality MPI is experimenting so we need to be easy on them #eventprofs |
| 8:18 pm |
beevents: |
@MichaelMcCurry agreed. But creating "unique content" is the challenge #eventprofs |
| 8:18 pm |
jaysmet: |
Other MPI staff told me "all options being explored". Really appreciated that openness. Wish it were shared more #eventprofs |
| 8:18 pm |
KarenBrown: |
Key takeaways?Diversify! Business Plan, Marketing plan need to be revamped. Made many new contacts to help with that #eventprofs |

@ready2spark I think SM is a real marketing tool. prob is it's all "fad" right now. need to get to real biz and best practices #eventprofs |

jaysmet: |
@michaelmccurry MPI is experimenting very well, but communicating ABOUT experimentation should be more open, methinks #eventprofs |
| 8:20 pm |
beevents: |
@MichaelMcCurry But how long can anything remain "unique"? Once its out there it is out there... #eventprofs |
| 8:20 pm |

@beevents yes and deliver value to customers make them want to remain loyal to you #eventprofs |

@csalomonlee and deliver education as well... education at the face2face level is not gonna be the drawing card #eventprofs |
| 8:46 pm |
spkrinteractive: |
The machines are not to be feared. They will free up time to do more important work. #eventprofs |
| 8:46 pm |
csalomonlee: |
@MichaelMcCurry yep - content and education is key. @jaysmet good pts as well #eventprofs |
| 8:47 pm |
beevents: |
@MichaelMcCurry I disagree. I just think it will be different. Audience Focused Marketplaces will be the future of F2F #eventprofs |
| 8:47 pm |
jaysmet: |
collaborative design is best F2F. Get stakeholders in a room together to solve "wicked problems" - those with no "best" answer #eventprofs |
| 8:47 pm |
csalomonlee: |
With about 15 minutes left - what other topics would you like to discuss? we've covered a bit so far. #eventprofs |
| 8:48 pm |
MichaelMcCurry: |
@beevents explain what you mean about "audience focused Marketplaces" please :) #eventprofs |
| 8:48 pm |
tempoliveevents: |
@beevents DM me - let's see if we can. see... another coffee date! <smile> #eventprofs |
| 8:48 pm |
MichaelMcCurry: |
@jaysmet that I absolutely agree on #eventprofs |
| 8:48 pm |
csalomonlee: |
@beevents that is a very good point - the marketing places then become communities themselves. everything converging. #eventprofs |
| 8:49 pm |
beevents: |
@MichaelMcCurry And F2F can still better control the variables and define the experience than technology #eventprofs |
| 8:49 pm |
beevents: |
@csalomonlee Yes! Not that both f2f and SM won't work in tandem; but the ability of f2f to control the conversation is stronger #eventprofs |
| 8:50 pm |
spkrinteractive: |
@beevents But at what cost? How much better? If it is only 5% better to watch a ppt in a room, is that worth it? #eventprofs |
| 8:50 pm |
MichaelMcCurry: |
RT @MichaelMcCurry: @beevents explain what you mean about "audience focused Marketplaces" please :) #eventprofs |
| 8:50 pm |
jaysmet: |
But MOST of the sessions at WEC could be delivered virtually. It's the other stuff that cannot be replicated #eventprofs |
| 8:50 pm |
MichaelMcCurry: |
RT @spkrinteractive: @beevents what cost? How much better? If it is only 5% better to watch a ppt in a room, is that worth it? #eventprofs |
| 8:51 pm |
csalomonlee: |
@jaysmet so let's deliver everything virtually and have a really great networking/business connection event! =) #eventprofs |
| 8:51 pm |
spkrinteractive: |
@jaysmet It is opportunity cost. If we eliminate some of the wrote learning, we free up valuable f2f collaboration time #eventprofs |
| 8:52 pm |
MichaelMcCurry: |
@jaysmet Exactly ppl are not drawn to f2f event to sit in mtg room and watch lecture they want collaboration and brainstorming #eventprofs |
| 8:52 pm |
beevents: |
@spkrinteractive You can't start with the cost question. You have to begin with the objectives and let that drive SM &/or F2F #eventprofs |
| 8:52 pm |
spkrinteractive: |
we still need a common framework/vocab so we allow for pre-learning which includes online collab. Also pre-sets f2f connections #eventprofs |
| 8:52 pm |
beevents: |
@spkrinteractive It isn't about doing the f2f now online. It is about completely rethinking how we deliver F2F moving forward #eventprofs |
| 8:52 pm |
jaysmet: |
@csalomonlee Absolutely! See how Pfizer thinks about F2F vs. virtual! http://bit.ly/8SU66 #eventprofs |
| 8:53 pm |
MichaelMcCurry: |
@beevents I think attendees are gonna deliver f2f in the future not some topdown program committee system..will b collaborative #eventprofs |
| 8:54 pm |
beevents: |
@MichaelMcCurry 140 characters doesn't let me do much! #eventprofs |
| 8:54 pm |
MichaelMcCurry: |
RT @csalomonlee: @jaysmet so lets deliver everything virtually and have a really great networking/business connection event! =) #eventprofs |
| 8:54 pm |
beevents: |
@MichaelMcCurry Yes Yes Yes. Get rid of the PPT!! #eventprofs |
| 8:54 pm |
spkrinteractive: |
@beevents hmm, seem to be losing something in the 140. I'm just suggesting we do more collab and less learning during f2f #eventprofs |
| 8:54 pm |
jaysmet: |
P2P, co-creation. The best sessions are where attendees design the "best solution" using the ideas that you've learned at event #eventprofs |
| 8:54 pm |
csalomonlee: |
@jaysmet check out cisco too: http://bit.ly/3fIpZv - their perspective on how it works together #eventprofs |
| 8:55 pm |
beevents: |
@MichaelMcCurry I mean that the job of the event professional in my mind is to create the marketplace (event) #eventprofs |
| 8:55 pm |
beevents: |
@spkrinteractive And I agree with you - it is all about engagement and interaction. #eventprofs |
| 8:56 pm |
beevents: |
@MichaelMcCurry in which the audience may interact, themselves creating the content. #eventprofs |
| 8:56 pm |
MichaelMcCurry: |
@beevents at some level I agree with that but I believe there will be co creation process involving attendees/customers #eventprofs |
| 8:56 pm |
beevents: |
@MichaelMcCurry And the job of the traditional KN speaker or the event itself is to facilitate their dialogue. #eventprofs |
| 8:57 pm |
beevents: |
@MichaelMcCurry And then in the design of the event you create the environmental platform which itself may direct the convers #eventprofs |
| 8:57 pm |
MichaelMcCurry: |
RT @beevents: @MichaelMcCurry in which the audience may interact, themselves creating the content. AGREED!!!! we r on same page #eventprofs |
| 8:57 pm |
MichaelMcCurry: |
Great dialogue everyone..very exciting!!! #eventprofs |
| 8:58 pm |
csalomonlee: |
so any last thoughts before we end tonights' fabulous chat? #eventprofs |

spkrinteractive: |
RT @beevents: in which the audience may interact, themselves creating the content -> Yes. No 10minute Q&A #eventprofs |
| 8:58 pm |
MichaelMcCurry: |
@csalomonlee 4 some reason I am not able to DM you #eventprofs |

csalomonlee: |

| 8:59 pm |
beevents: |
@spkrinteractive @MichaelMcCurry and then that lets us all focus on the strategy of designing events which foster that convers. #eventprofs |

tempoliveevents: |
You all were fun to watch/listen to. Gr8 chat! Thanks! #eventprofs |
| 9:00 pm |
jaysmet: |
I LOVE this! The F2F model needs transformation, but sit-n-git is the easiest and most "controllable" #eventprofs |
