I think you'd see a big jump in attendance (including mine) if you
opened it up to virtual attendance, that is, setup a Webex session or
some such. I brought this up before and I understand there are
challenges, but there are also more tools and services (web-based) that
provide for this (GoToMeeting.com?). I'd think most of us may even be
willing to pay a modest club dues to pay for this.
Advantages include gas money savings and drive time savings
Disadvantages include less natural / more awkward conversations, less
face-to-face networking (though those with webcams might could use
them). Ok, I think there was a show-stopper or two when I brought this
up last, but I forget, and am too lazy to look it up right now.
Of course, virtual meetings might drastically reduce the number of
physical attendees.
Thanks,
I agree totally, but I just went toGoToMeeting.com
to set up my account and I discovered it is $50 per
month! Yikes.
I sure would like to see something like that get going.
I know WebEx works good, because I have used
it numerous times. It's not just the cost to users, but
also the cost to the meeting organizers to get the
microphones, etc to put it on.
