Yes, thanks everyone for a great summit!
I was kind of left thinking after the summit about summits and presentations in general.
It's a bit like in school. The old school way of ... well, schooling, is to have a lecturer speaking and "people learning" from what the speaker says.
When I was studying in HUT we were actively focusing on doing something different, i.e. avoiding lectures and more doing groupwork or being active in any way possible, through multiple different means.
So, I don't really have any super-concrete proposals, but it did leave me a thought of would it be possible to do much less "one person talks" presentations and a lot more "all interested parties are involved" type of sessions. Many presentations were nice recaps of what a project has done recently, but ... in theory, if all of those presentations would be available beforehand, people could read through them and then select from them the topics they are interested in, and then participate in active two-way sessions about those topics. Splitting into many more than 3 or 4 threads going on at once.
Or saying it in another way, if the presentation is only about reading through the slideset, people know already how to read.
It is missing on further potential.
