Certainly we did parts of this for Corporate Learning Trends 2007. Someone asked me for an example of a conference using a Wiki both for organizers during planning, evaluating proposed sessions, etc. and for attendees with session pages, participant lists, that kind of stuff. It was more aimed at the attendee side.

We had about 120 people for the Learn Trends on SharePoint in Corporate Learning and find the recording at SharePoint Video. On Tuesday morning, we had 125 listening in. On Wednesday morning, we had 50-60. In between, some sessions had 30-40 people, others dwindled to one. We are deciding what we will do going forward.

If we are going to make progress with Corporate Learning Long Tail and Attention Crisis , I think we have to think about these things in an integrated fashion. Luckily all of the requirements that Mohamed cites apply equally well to a PWLE. I'm curious if anyone actually sees this different? Do we gain something by separating them?

But this is not a desire to have the learning/training version of FOO Camp or Bar Camp but something more. Actually, I think that maybe FOO Camp and Bar Camp aren't quite the right format, but having the kind of dialog that occurs at unconferences is definitely needed at corporate learning conferences, e.g., ASTD, Training, etc.

Most of the corporate learning we support is teaching critical skills to folks, or enabling JIT learning on the job. It is exactly that kind of JIT learning we are talking about.
