I’ve been thinking about how you might go about taking the free-form nature of barcamp and merging it with ’static’ industry-expert panel discussions.
Very much in response to discussions after Chinwag’s measuring social media event on Monday.
So…
How about a panel event where there is a set subject and fixed set of panellists – but the areas of discussion are worked out on a wiki by the attendees in the run up to the event?
The agenda would have to be managed to the extent that there could only be, say, 4 or 5 areas of discussion in order to stick to the time frame. You could open up the wiki for general suggestions and comments and then a week or so before the event someone arranges the suggestions into logical groupings in order to form the agenda. (For the panellists’ sake you’d probably want to fix the agenda about a week before the event.)
What do people think?
