Wilfred also blogged about the conference. He notices people were looking for practical applications, whereas a conference like this is to challenge your thinking. My thinking was sharpened, but I also took away really practical lessons for the things I am working on (like the idea to embed peergradio in Moodle for instance.)

Even if it takes effort and excellent organizational skills to set up communities of practice for geographically dispersed employees, the benefits are worth it. Closing thoughts.
