# Are you a Conference Sponge? #sxswedu

In this carcast I look at whether or not we need to define a new role for those who are learning from a conference that is taking place in another city. This isn’t about virtual attendance, but rather about having the time and space to learn from a conference through tweets and reflections from those who are attending live.

What do you think? Do we need a new role for learning through tweets?
