Thanks for the pointer, and yes please share what you find useful here. Joitske, I have also found that embedding meetings and conferences into the normal life of participants is very difficult. I'll look forward to your lessons from using Ning. In another workshop, we tried that with facebook, but probably did not invest too much time in the pre-conference activities, so it did not really take of. David, great source that wiki.

I like the idea of a participant wall. My question is how to find the right balance between investing in social reporting and the impact. If you don't take care, everything is online, but no-one bothers to read because life events are still protected space. After them normal life goes on.. At apf-dairy.ning.com we are now trying to engage participants in conversations before the event. We hope to discuss during the event how to continue- in that way we hope to build some ownership of the social media. Hi, thanks for this, I will be able to use the lessons.

I'll take some into my rough guide http://srtoolbox.wikispaces.com/ if I may. You might be interested in use of a Ning network for the National Digital Inclusion conference here http://net.digitalengagement.org where we had the luxury of an anchor person (Dave Briggs) to do video edit and uploads, and about eight reporters on video, blogging, Twitter. My feeling after that is that it is fairly easy to generate content, but much more difficult to help participants engage, and to curate and make sense. It would be interesting (if they were willing) for speakers/facilitators to revisit material after the event and provide further reflections, commentary.
