Well, I have to say that even attending Virtual Jamboree was a bit exhausting. For the folks who were there for the Live version, well, given that I’m still seeing posts coming across twitter I’d say they all needed to recover.

So, what did I learn at V-Jam?

Well, I certainly didn’t learn as much as if I was there. And that’s to be expected. A couple of friends exchanged tweets with me during the event (thanks @geneaphile and @SJDankoSF—aka Katherine and Steve!).

But more than what I learned about the sessions is what I learned about covering a conference for others. I really like the approach that Joan Miller from Luxegen Genealogy took where she mentioned in general what the session was about and then the best ‘nugget’ that she got out of that session. See below for a link to her posts.

What about you? If you followed the conference virtually, what was the best way to do that in your opinion?

Joan has some great posts on her time there and I especially like the format she used for reporting. I definitely feel as though I get something from each of the sessions she attended. Thanks Joan!
