The cost of streaming live video from your event has dropped to zero. There are tons of live video streaming services for you to choose from, such as Ustream.tv, BlogTV.com, Operator11, Mogulus.com, Stickam, and Justin.tv. All of these tools make it possible for anyone with a Web cam and a microphone to record a live event. It’s as simple as setting up an account and pressing the record button. Your job is to create something interesting to record.
Have one person with their notebook and Web cam sit in the lobby or networking area and call attendees over to have a chat live on camera. Pick a question that will reveal something personal about their experience at the event. For example, “Who’s the most interesting person you’ve met here so far?” or “What’s the coolest thing you’ve seen at the event?” People will be excited to share what they’re discovering at the conference. Many of these tools let you also save recordings which could be edited and posted later. A great post-conference blog post could be “Best lobby interviews.”
