A possible solution is to map networks created by participants at conferences - and compare these networks to those that existed before the conferences. This is exactly what I have done recently in a network mapping study that you can view here (pdf -  1 MB) and the above image is from. From the LIFT conference of 2007, we mapped the networks of 28 participants (out of 450 total participants) before and after the conferences.

An alternate question (to who have you met during this event) is "Who (in this workshop) are you likely to talk to in the next six months about issues discussed in this workshop?" This sort of network is a means for following up the impact of workshops later on. If there are a few people who are well connected to many others in this post-workshop network then the follow up could be done quite economically regards, rick davies, www.mande.co.uk Hi Glenn

Of course such a project may not work in conferences where people are not willing to share details of their contacts - business fairs for example - even if confidentiality of the data is assured.
