The interaction lives on: so many 'conferences' are traditionally set up as one-way show-and-tell broadcasts. Social media turns the tables and makes them truly a place to confer.
#DigiTalksChelt is set up as a regular meeting on technology, design and ideas on digital media.
You get the idea... This selection shows how the debate is continuing even beyond the boundaries of the conference time and place... Cool!

#DigiTalksChelt is set up as a regular meeting on technology, design and ideas on digital media.
- The organizing team uses Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn and a bunch of other social media properties to draw a crowd of fifty or so industry specialists keen to lift their eyes from the keyboards for a couple of hours every couple of months. It's a chance to think more generally and interact with others who have insight.
- Three speakers or so introduce their subject and the audience gets to interact with questions during, after, and over drinks breaks during the evening.
- But the #DigiTalksChelt hashtag provides a means for folk to comment during the event; and afterwards; and over subsequent hours and days, even though the crowd disperses.
- Last time round we got a web-delivered pitch on HTML5 and CSS3; and the social media also makes it possible to review slides, notes, presentations after the event and over time.
With a brief to get interaction going and put a couple of alternative points of view, Twitter has proved invaluable as a means to keep the conversation alive during the night and morning after the event. Here's a sample:
We're looking forward to hearing from @10Yetis @SheldonW & @MikeSchorah at this Thursday's #DigitalksChelt. Who's in? There'll be music...
The ImGloucestershire365 Daily is out! http://bit.ly/b0aXo9 ▸ Top stories today via @iamrobmason @wottonnews @penelopeelse @mikeschorah
Some interesting points on privacy and security by @MikeSchorah. Bringing up PSN, EC2 and Blogger outages/hacks. #digitalkschelt
"If you're not paying, they're selling your information" - @MikeSchorah #digitalkschelt
@MikeSchorah raises some subtle & important points about cloud security & economics at #digitalkschelt but these are bigger Cyber questions
The cloud "fight" at #DigiTalksChelt seems to be more about the crowd kicking the presenters for slight confusion.
@iamrobmason so the plan to stir some audience reaction worked then! ;)
@MikeSchorah definitely, although I think some of the comments were a bit picky! Good talk though.
Man talking bollocks at #digitalkschelt
@andydavies glad the plan to get people reacting and thinking worked! Best, Mike
@MikeSchorah :-) The reality is far more nuanced and I don't think you really believed your own argument - that makes it hard /cc @sheldonw
Very good example of a presentation without PowerPoint by @MikeSchorah at #DigiTalksChelt goo.gl/fb/vj2Ex #visualisation #graphics
#FF @MikeSchorah for thought-provoking ideas and cool visuals at #digitalkschelt - sorry I rushed away, will def talk at nxt one!
@mikeschorah @sheldonw I think you did well with a difficult subject last night.
@mikeschorah @sheldonw *I* think most of cloud as consumer services are really just webapps rather than cloud (but that's hype for you!)
@andydavies @sheldonw *We* know that app is not cloud; but consumers confused & don't 'get' the subtlety, or the cost of participation
