Standing on the shoulders of giants
Abstract:
The presentation will look 5 - 10 years out and postulate how conferences and meetings might change. It will be based on a decade of experience running leading-edge conferences for the computer industry including subjects such as advanced networking, e-Learning and eResearch.
It will underpin the argument using fairly predictable data such as economic forecasts, airline fleet sizes and issues with non-renewable resources and climate warming. It will overlay this with possible advances in technology and known social behaviour.
It will grapple with the impact of the Gen-Y in ten years time and the changes likely demanded of their successors.
It will finish with one or more scenarios about what might happen. From this will be drawn a series of questions to ask.
The presentation will be successful when it challenges the audience to think in very different ways about acquiring information and building relationships in 2020.
