I have blogged before about good and bad conference experiences .  Well have a read of this summary of SXSW from Jeremiah.

He summarised four 'incidents' when the audience moved against what had been planned by the organisers as a groundswell of opinion in a new direction.  

What I found interesting was the concept of a "backchannel" a place online where participants can exchange comments in real time on what they are hearing and what they think.  This is a new move towards a fluid construct in a conference making an almost 3-D experience of evolving sessions and making a link from a traditional conference towards a BarCamp -type experience.
