Writing for Associations Now, (ASAE & the Center for Association Leadership) Jeff Waddle, (a freelance writer based in Cincinnati, Ohio) notes, “… a revolution of sorts is underway, largely due to advances in technology and a society and economy that make continual learning a requirement.  Technology has made it easier to obtain information without attending a conference in person, and popular social media platforms such as Twitter and Facebook allow friends and colleagues to stay connected in sophisticated ways. Those attending meetings are now considered "participants" who want to tell their stories and hear those of their peers.
