This morning I checked my Twitter lists. I now use Twitter lists to curate my information. One post I saw was my friend and contributer to the MeetingsPodcast Greg Ruby was watching the eibtm conference from 4am earlier that morning. It peaked my interest and I checked out the Hybrid stream. I found the hybrid website service they used to be very easy to navigate. Nice welcome message and then a hybrid connector (host, virtual host, virtual emcee etc) and Paul Cook.
I reminised about our EventCamp.org hybrid streams that I produced in New York and Chicago. Around the time we were thinking up EventCamp I did an interview with Doug Keeley from Mark of a Leader. I thought it might be a good time to do a rewind of this interview for a post today. Of the more than one hundred interviews I have done for MeetingsPodcast his sticks out in my mind as the great use of video in presentations.
I am in Pacific time so I am around 9 hours behind Barcelona. I think you can still sign up for all the hybrid sessions here at the eibtm website
I enjoyed watching Doug Keeleys session and Mark of a Leader is something you should check out to inspire your audience. ( I reposted this audio interview and transcripts below. It might be a little funky sounding, the bit rates in 2009 were different. It sounds okay to me but ping me if you run into any problems.)
