About You

'Amplified events' can enhance face-to-face events by
exploiting networked technologies to widen participation
to remote participants and 'time-shifting' events.
This session will consider the why, what and how of amplifying events – using recent case-studies
It will also explore the reasons for such approaches, address possible concerns and outline various business models, policies and emerging technologies which can be used to maximise the benefits of amplified events.

What is an Amplified Event? 'Amplified events' can enhance face-to-face events by exploiting networked technologies to widen participation to remote participants and 'time-shifting' events.

Online events, hybrid events and amplification of events is only going to get bigger
Can share your outputs with a much wider group of people – time shifting
Can reuse outputs
Better impact, better value
Good to get experience and knowledge of technologies
Skills in this area helps you avoid paying commercial costs
Why Amplify?

Constraints of Space & Time

How can we improve our understanding & recollection of events?
