There’s some excellent livetweeting going on right now of the Classical Association shindig in Nottingham. It’s pretty much a model of how to do it (although I’d still like to see abstracts posted before a talk) and is possibly the next best thing to being there. The official hashtag is #CA14, although #CA2014 is also getting traffic. Both have some ‘contamination’ from other ‘CA’ events (especially the 2014 version) but the ClassCon is definitely whelming (assuming ‘whelming’ would be positive where ‘overwhelming’ is negative).
