I would much prefer it if conferences routinely videoed the sessions and made them freely available online. Then if individual presenters want to write more about their topic, then they can blog it, and if people want to see what was said, then they can get it from the horses mouth.

I still own conference organisers papers and slide decks from months ago, and to be honest, I have no idea if I am ever going to get the time to prepare them. The academic model just doesn’t work for business people, imho. It cerrtainly doesn’t work for me.

Anyway, looks like a great talk! Wish I was going to be there, but it’s too close after I return from honeymoon.
