So here’s my rather belated post looking at a couple of interesting breakout sessions at Manchester’s recently concluded  b.TWEEN08 conference.

For the uninitiated, this post is part of a series covering the b.TWEEN08 conference that took place at Manchester’s Museum of Science and Industry from 18-20 June. Click on the “b.TWEEN08” tag to see all articles in the series.

I’m discussing the conference organizers decision to scrap the traditional ‘roving microphone amongst the audience’ question and answer session after each presentation in favour of distributed ‘break out’ discussions in specially allocated areas within the main conference hall.

I didn’t get a chance to blog this yesterday, got in late after attending and presenting at the extremely interesting QuickFire event at Manchester’s Circle Club.

QuickFire is the b.TWEEN conference‘s take on Pecha Kucha presentations and you can find out more info about them here. You can also watch the videos from all the events at b.TWEEN on their YouTube page. The webcast is here.

I’ll put my slides up on Slideshare over the weekend. Follow today’s (and yesterday’s) events on Twitter by tracking the #btween and #btween08 Twitter hash tags using summize.com. You can also check out a pretty impressive preview here at Conference 2.0.

Now onto the Day 1 highlights…    (You can also check out Day 2′s highlights)
