Whether we are planning, presenting, or simply attending, conferences offer us the chance to play the prognosticator. What is hot right now? What will become the next need-to-know thing, and what will be a flash in the pan? Technology continues to garner a bit of attention, mostly with a focus on particular tools that are top-of-mind. As always, though, there are too many offerings to take in everything of interest.
This year Facebook gets some more facetime (will the Beacon debacle be mentioned?), there are updates from the demographic front, we can hear echoes of the 2004 Chevron winner from a new campus and perspective, and YouTube seems to have replaced podcasting as the tech du jour. Are you planning your sessions out yet? Or do you wait until you are on the ground to decide?
At some point a retrospective on conference topics would be an interesting piece of research - track the true content trends and forces that have shaped our professions and have piqued our collective interest. What stories do you think it would tell?
