There are different levels of “participation” and “experiences” that we can select. The challenge is how to provide this while at a reasonable price. I always look at what the TED and SXSW conferences are doing as leaders in merging technology with creating unique experiences that people are willing to pay for.

Today, I think we typically think of the platforms provided by companies like ON24, but as people begin to collaborate around event tags online on their own (on Twitter and elsewhere), they are almost creating their own virtual worlds.

Last week, I was paying attention to chatter about a conference that I wasn’t attending. Both attendees and “non-attendees” were joining in the discussion. One non-attendee even got a question answered by an attendee in the Q&A session.

Of course, we don’t always have attendees who are so savvy online (and the structure that typical virtual vendors provide probably makes them more comfortable), but it does start to seem inevitable, doesn’t it?
