We record and put on youtube the uknof.org.uk meetings and it still
gets bigger every time (around 3x growth since we started streaming).

Hard to think anyone still doesn't understand internet. Video or
it never happened.

I have referred to online sessions from the past several times.
NANOG is great at preserving information, compared to other conferences.

In addition, if you attend a conference, say you have to missed a session
due to business distractions, you can usually watch it that evening in
your room. If you stayed out too late and you'd rather have a late
breakfast and order room service, you can watch/attend sessions virtually
from your room.

Thank You

Speakers are informed they are going to be recorded. If they have sensitive 
information, they can choose a track and ask it not be recorded. NANOG has done 
this in the past, but you should talk to the Program Committee if you are 
interested in this.

Check out the Openstack Summits, a conference that records *everything*, and 
attendence keeps going up.

Many attendees also find value in the parts of the conference that aren't 
recorded, like hallway conversations, informal meetings, and even social events.

Keeping and maintaining the archive of slides and video recordings is an 
essential part of NANOG's educational mission, which was key to obtaining and 
maintaining the IRS 401(c)(3) nonprofit status.

So at least for the time I was on the Board, not only were there no regrets, 
but we worked hard to maintain and enhance the video experience.

Another organization I'm in has a hard policy of no recordings of any sessions 
at their conferences. They think that recordings of content (even 
vendor-sponsored, vendor-specific sessions with vendor consent) would have a 
catastrophic effect on conference attendance. 

NANOG doesn't seem to have that issue. Any background on the process to get 
there? Any regrets?
