Are the activities that participants in an online community are devoting their time to what those who rely on the community need and want? When is the “supply” of work being done more or less aligned with the “demand” of things people need and want? How can community managers more effectively manage or align the relationship between these two?
We'll be exploring these questions through several presentations of academic work and through extensive dialog between an invited group of scholars and leaders of online communities. We expect to host 20-30 people.
This event is being paid for, in part by a National Science Foundation grant, and will be held at no cost to attendees. A code of conduct will be shared with participants prior to the event. Discussions will be held under Chatham House Rule.
Presentations will be recorded and shared publicly, though discussions will not.
