Hey Sam–

Another addition which we have been playing with /producing lately is posting the sessions just as they end. Maybe a microwavable portion for immediate on-demand consumption. Plus doing some editorial with a blog post it is attached to on the conference website. So live stream ends, the session is cut and put up for an on-demand experience right after it is presented (or fried up :))

Since working with LiveStream, who I blundered through at the NYC event camp- the live streaming space is changing and evolving at a rapid pace.

Great post Sam…

Mike

[…] For example, we didn’t talk much about planning and objective setting, because we assumed that most people will have already taken that step before starting. Also, we didn’t talk much about the Technology Recipe – because I did that in the post: Nacho Mama’s Hybrid Event Recipe. […]

Sam,

Thank you for the delicious overview and delicate details that went in to producing an incredible event. We often are asked by our clients for “tips” on how to produce a more engaging hybrid/virtual event and I now have a great reference to share with them. I was honored to get to present at the event and appreciate the opportunity to share what the Intefy platform can do in front of all those who attended. I have to give Emilie Barta big kudos as I believe she is the special ingredient that made this event so special for the virtual audience. Event managers, if you are going to splurge on one element in attempting to produce a hybrid event, make sure you splurge on the virtual emcee. If you’re really a good chef you’ll hire Emilie!

For those who are “proof is in the pudding” types and want to see actual stats, here you go:

Great food analogy Sam.

It really is fun to see the experience from the various angles. The photo’s that were just published and your overview above sums up some great output of a conference that has proven to break the sound barrier of what hybrid represents in 2010.

Looking forward to collaboratively posting the case study around the PODs soon. Those were an experience in themselves…

These new formats takes truckloads of creative thinking, immersion 3D planning, lateral thinking and journalistic post event reporting. With the fruition of #ectc10 you are making efforts and delivering results that will not go unnoticed!

Look forward to the next steps, grüezzi from Basel, Ruud

@Jenise – Thanks for your kind words AND for taking notes during ECTC10. Hopefully, you used the cool conference journal – those were awesome! If you need any help convincing your clients, please let me know. These are ideas worth trying and I would be happy to help.

@David – Thanks for your generous compliments. We could have never done it without your support and the support of BizBash. Looking forward, we need more people to be able to see and experience these new formats, technologies and ideas – before they become mainstream and a regular part of event design. ECTC10 was just one small step in that direction.

PS – I should have mentioned that we have Kiki L’Italien from Delcor to thank for the recipe format. She encouraged me to try to write this up as something fun rather than a boring case study. (We will still do the boring case study, too)

Great to see such amazing revolutionary thinking that takes us to a more practical level and allows us to literally peek into the future. I do think that much of this article will/should be the basis for an entire new industry. The pain of leading, learning and listening will make you an important force in the business of “programming of human interaction.”

Way to wrap some comprehensive, technical info in a very delicious-sounding package, Sam. As a friend, ECTC participant and volunteer, I have eagerly watched you and Ray create this masterpiece and believe me I’ve taken notes. I hope to use what I’ve learned to help our clients create events that do at least some of what ECTC did. There’s a reason everyone is still talking about it.

Thanks so much for generously sharing the HOW. Results of your efforts will, no doubt, be felt in our industry for some time to come.
