The conference was defined by its diverse participants and allowed smaller groups to interact with leading world-class presenters in a "flattened" environment, where virtual participants joined in the conversation from remote corners of the world.
The 2011 'Flat Classroom Conference' was held over three days in Beijing, China. The 'virtual' nature of the conference allowed participants to collaborate and share ideas using technology tools such as wikis, blogs, social networking and multi-media storytelling.
