AJAXWorld Is a "Conference 2.0" Really

I'm sure, other event organizers will start copycatting SYS-CON, which is a win-win situation for everyone

Jan. 10, 2007 11:15 AM

Even though I write for SYS-CON, I've never publicly complimented them. But this time they really deserve a credit. SYS-CON will present the AJAXWorld 2007 Conference & Expo 2007 East in March. Usually, attendees have very limited access to speakers during conferences, and SYS-CON Events came out with a simple but smart idea - yesterday they have created an Ask The Faculty Forum, where anyone can post questions to the conference speakers and faculty.

And you do not even have to attend the conference to participate in this forum. It's a very nice idea, or rather "Idea 2.0".

Speakers should visit the forum and answer the questions to promote their sessions, and software developers will have a chance to correspond with well known people in the industry.

Yours truly will run Adobe Flex Hands-on Workshop during this event, so feel free to post relevant questions - it does not matter if you are planning to be there or not.

I'm sure, other event organizers will start copycatting SYS-CON, which is a win-win situation for everyone.
