Abstract :
In addition to bringing us together to test what we´ve done and reward the best ideas, the technology we´ve created in the past decade or two might also allow us to validate the claim that conferences do real work. The Web extra at http://youtu.be/nYvHGLbvYbo is a video segment in which author David Alan Grier expands on his Errant Hashtag column, in which he discusses how technology might allow us to validate the claim that conferences do real work.
