I know we can't record sessions but we are hoping to have a video booth for folks to record their experiences. My thought is for folks to capture which sessions they thought were most useful and then ask the presenters to review session notes, then give a five minute speech on the salient points. Either way, someone needs to bring a video camera in case we can't get funding for taping the interviews, etc. > > Another oddity is that in a room like that, people forget there is > video (or, worse, notice), and that changes how they interacts with > each other.

People tend to self-censor when being recorded. I think the above plan is a good compromise.
