More than just a conference

One thing I realized after Les Blogs was that it was an amazing get-together of the folks who are actually leaders of Web 2.0 and that the close and collaborative feeling was not harnessed. I mentioned to Loïc and others that the next conference should have something concrete come out of it.

Well, seems like others are thinking the same thing.

Stowe Boyd is pulling together another gathering of Social Media people and realizes that something concrete needs to come out of it.

That’s great.

And I want to explore Marc Cantor’s contention (see here) that this has to be more than just a brief real world event: it needs to be an ongoing community, with continuing virtual activity after the symposium is over, and leading up to the event itself.
