I registered for a virtual farming event last week with good intentions to view some of the sessions.
Farming got in the way and I ended up missing most of it but when I did try I found it tough to be engaged.
Sorry about the rant but I wanted to get this off my mind

I commend them for trying something new but the social interaction and the one on ones are a huge draw for me.
Is there a way to make these online shows more personal?
Live broadcasts with interaction would be good but still may come across awkward

Will farmers take the time?
Does it come across as a huge advertisement and have little value?
I would never discourage innovation or making the best of a bad situation but I feel if they are to succeed they need to be engaging and offer some of the social aspect as well

Sorry but I tend to offer unsolicited advice sometimes 
so here it is
Try to be engaging and increase access across many mediaâs
It needs to be simple to attend and not all interactions will be traceable but this will increase uptake

Offer content on Twitter, Facebook and be engaging on all social media
It will take a lot to keep it simple yet engaging
Live panels taking questions?
The app needs to be simple and compatible with low rural internet services

No canned direct messages across an app!
It honestly comes across as a spam advertisement unless it is personal.
Also we want to have control over when we view so maybe have multiple live sessions and look at going in the evenings more as well?

Since this is new you have to offer some of what we received at a farm show but also look at the ways to be innovative
Virtual coffee shops after a broadcast to have discussions?
Submit questions before a broadcast maybe and feature them?

I have lots of ideas but once again I know this is totally unsolicited but I want these to succeed. Iâm a big farm show geek and I miss a lot of the interaction, discussions and exchange of knowledge.
