KerryJ's Neotenous Tech

Using live conference coverage tools to extend face to face events to an online audience is helping organisations to reach new audiences and spark international conversations. Live blogging, Twitter and streaming audio can all help organisations to leverage their investments in face to face conference coverage. As part of the organising committee for eDayz 2008 – the top South Australian VET event – I wanted to take the live blogging and fast turn-around audio we achieved in 2008 to the next level. So for eDayz 2009, I set up CoveritLive live blogging (for those without Twitter accounts and because of its ability to feed in tagged tweets, a Tweet chat room to house the tagged Tweets and a live audio stream – backed up with the ability to do on-site  fast turn-arounds of any audio streams with technical issues and to serve as an archive of presentations for future consumption. I repeated this for the InnovateSA 2010 conference: https://sites.google.com/site/innovatesashowcase/ For Adelaide’s first TEDx event at the Royal Institute, my  live blogging was shared by conference organisers. Here is the live blog from the day: http://kerryj.com/2010/11/06/tedx-adelaide/
