The professional conference has been, for many years, the primary
tool for continuing education and networking in many professions.
Now, however, the economic and environmental costs associated with
travel, and the opportunity costs associated with absence from the
workplace, compel organizers, trainers and executives to weigh the
costs versus the benefits of this form of professional development.
Online conferences offer an effective alternative that is
economical, environmentally friendly and convenient. These factors
position online professional conferences as poised to emerge as a
mainstream form of lifelong learning in all professions. This book
looks at the elements of effective continuing professional
education, the affordances of interactive technologies, and the
lessons learned by experienced online conference organizers. It is
designed to provide guidance and advice to those wishing to
coordinate, sponsor or participate effectively in an online
professional development conference. The text describes various
ways in which a variety of networking technologies are being used
to support successful online professional development events.
Resources for conference organizers are given in the form of links
to commercial and open source software, and companies providing
platforms and comprehensive support for the organization of online
conferences. The text contains the results of interviews with 12
organizers of the most successful online conferences to date.
Finally, a list of best practices, based on the research
literature, experiences of the authors and experienced online
conference organizers, is presented in the final chapter.
