But reading the comments on her post about the experience, however, suggest he has a lot of fans who think she's a great speaker. And I don't think reading a talk is 100% evil -- IF -- and it's a big one -- it matches the participants' expectations or it best serves the content. At some conferences it's actually the norm and doing anything but that would be out-of-place or less welcome. I think the backchannel example is just a new (and significant) wrinkle in the conversation speakers and sponsoring organizations need to have in advance: What is the learning experience we want to be creating, what are our respective roles in creating it, and what are the critical logistics for its creation? I present 50-75 times a year and almost without fail, if i don't bring up those questions, the conversation isn't going to occur. Education directors and meeting planners simply have to own the outcomes of their entire conference and engage the supporting cast (invited speakers, paid speakers, SMEs, and the like) in creating the ideal experience. Speakers can't be the only artistic directors, managing directors, and stage managers for their event. I haven't read it yet, but Cliff Atkinson's new book, The Backchannel, http://www.backchannelbook.com/, is in my briefcase for my next flight. i' sure he can inform our thinking in this area.
