Note from Beth: Last June, I live blogged the virtual Millennial Donor Summit and it was an interesting experience. Hosting engaging online events and learning experiences has been of interest to me over the past ten years and the question of whether or not virtual events replace the face-to-face or how to best blend together.

Throughout the day, I'll be living blogging sessions from MCON12, a virtual conference to help leaders engage the Millennial generation. Holly draws the connection via the Pew Internet & American Life Report that online access is moving away from the laptop experience. What do you think?

Most users can access their emails on a laptop/computer and on their mobile device, in fact 53% of emails are opened on mobile devices!

I always found it funny that the line often associated with Virtual Work is “I get to work in my pajamas!” The issue of virtual or remote work has been very hot since Marissa Mayer of Yahoo asked all of their remote employees to work in a Yahoo office. This is a point that Foster makes well in his guest post on the RepMan blog.

You have paper and pen, but in this harsh environment, even collecting data the old fashioned way can be unreliable. They include things like: Access/FileMaker databases on desktops or laptops. Wikis/Blogs. Wikis and blogs require some writing skills (in addition to power). There is no real infrastructure. Mobile phones.

One of the ideas I've been exploring is the whole notion of video blogging from Cambodia by Cambodians. I'm going to bring over video blogging kits - inexpensive cameras, rechargeable batteries, SD cards, and Ryanne's book. I put out a call for a session "Mobile Blogging and Video Blogging: I know nothing, educate me."

This is the same conversation that is happening around web metrics versus blog metrics. If you use web site metrics to evaluate the success of your blog, they don't work for a lot of reasons.

As the pandemic continues, most nonprofit workplaces will become a combination of virtual and on-site work. Now, with over a year of virtual meetings under our belts and the future of office-centric work for all being unclear, hybrid meetings are likely to become our new normal. Give your remote participants a seat at the table.

The problem is that walking is perceived as a “break activity,” not part of work as explained in this Harvard Business Review blog post, “ Take a Walk, Sure, but Don’t Call It A Break.” Virtual Meetings: Conference calls, online chats, and webinars. I even presented a walking keynote on walking!

It’s virtual. You get yourself some kind of together and you kind of meander and find your way to your laptop. And then laptop because, you know, work, right? Yes, Bonnie, planning a virtual conference for the first time, I am sure that there were so many things you were like, “What in the entire bleep, bleep, bleep?”
