(They The aim of our reporting was to After a couple of days social reporting at a conference in Lisbon, my co-reporters Bev Trayner , Josien Kapma and I decided we should turn the camera on ourselves and reflect on what worked well - or didn’t.
We have the tools to coordinate and connect before, during and after the event — to keep the conversation going (it starts before the conference and goes afterward as well) always want to know who else is attending an event, what they’re thinking about, where people are staying, and where we’re going to eat.  And it’s nice to see photos of the event afterward, too.
