Currencies that make the value at SOCAP visible

Why Conference Currents? Conference Currents tracks good ideas and fascinating people at conferences. SoCap’s Conference Currents makes visible and even amplifies flows of value in the social economy of the event.While a conference acts as a marketplace of ideas, deep value resides in the connections, idea development,insights, innovation, and projects you encounter. This value often disappears when we leave the event because we don’t make it more tangible then a stack of business cards that quickly lose their context. Conference Currents provides tracking and coherence for these “intangible” value streams, enabling you to maximize the real wealth of the conference experience.
How it works: Conference Currents brings attention to the ideas and innovators that attract attendees.It uses simple score-cards to track participants, their ideas, and ratings of those ideas based on innovation, impact,and feasibility. Each card placed in the online database accumulates to display real-time flows of reputation,participation, and ideas visible in the conference setting. People who get the best feedback and attract the most attention get an opportunity to showcase their ideas at the end of the event. These are the people we know you want to hear more from! Everyone using Conference Currents also gets a transcript of their connections and ratings whichare linked to Pathable profiles for easy follow up post-conference.
