EventCamp Twin Cities Case Study
In September 2010, EventCamp Twin Cities brought 75 participants in Minneapolis together with face-to-face audiences in Basel and Dallas, plus another 550 virtual participants who attended virtually. Along with ECTC Co-Chairs Samuel J. Smith and Ray Hansen, The Conference Publishers co-authored an EventCamp Twin Cities case study on the factors that made the conference a breakthrough in the design of affordable hybrid meetings.
Game ON!: GMIC Introduces Game Design for Face-to-Face Meetings
In February 2011, the Green Meeting Industry Council adopted Game ON! as the theme for its 2011 Sustainable Meetings Conference in Portland, OR. The conference was a milestone for meetings industry associations—the first conference ever to adopt a format that brought the energy, intensity, and teamwork of an online multi-player game to a face-to-face event. Along with Elizabeth Valestuk Henderson, chair of GMIC’s conference programs committee, The Conference Publishers produced a case study of a bold experiment that pointed to a huge new design opportunity for meetings.
