An excellent question well worth asking! Here’s my list. * Live talks are more current than recorded ones (at least after a few days) * Live talks _feel_ different because speakers act differently in front of a live audience, even if they can’t see them. More authentic. 1/5 vogella/1296734331994611712Permalink On twitter.com

* Speakers and audience can interact. The audience can ask questions. The speaker can ask for a show of hands, or even for opinions. * Speakers can refer to other talks that happened before theirs, or will happen after theirs. * Speakers can refer to other current events. 2/5Permalink On twitter.com

* Audience shares the experience of listening to a session. If the tooling supports it, they can talk to each other and share their thoughts * The audience can connect with the speaker because they’re actually (virtually) there * The audience can provide feedback to speakers 3/5Permalink On twitter.com

* The set of sessions will be part of a curated whole, hopefully set up by a program committee who knew what it was doing * The fact that it’s a live event means you’ll have to make time for it, and focus while it’s happening * Speakers *and* audience can interact 4/5Permalink On twitter.com

* Sessions can easily be recorded _in addition_ to being streamed live * Q&As can happen (or be supported by) chat * Other online interaction tools (like shared whiteboards) may be more usable than their physical counterparts 5/5On twitter.com
