DESCRIPTION
The conference scene hasn't changed much in over 6000 years. We might have migrated to better technologies and presentation formats, but we still see largely passive audiences listening to a 'sage on the stage'. At the same time our technology driven society is speeding up and we struggle to understand the resulting complexities of commercial and societal life. It is time to think anew; to change style and format; to fight fire with fire and use and exploit technology in new ways to enhance conferences and our understanding.
