Re: Remote Access to IBM i Conferences (was IBM i DevCon)

Jon,

 There's obviously an advantage when doing a live event to be able 
to interact at some level with the audience.  People attend (or wish 
to attend) because they want to hear *you* speak and potentially to 
ask questions on the spot.

 Having a chat session going where someone collates the questions to 
feed you during the Q & A portion would add value by allowing people 
that can't physically be there to almost be there.
