Perhaps in-person was the wrong word. "Present" is perhaps closer to what I meant. We want our presenters to have an audience. We want audience participation / questions / feedback. We want to create a buzz. ;)

Not saying that YC's format doesn't achieve that. It's just different.

But either way - totally see your point on posting it online afterwards.

Gotcha. Breakout rooms I assume? This makes sense with breakout rooms where you shard the audience into small groups of ~4 or so. Then you get (N/4)^2 interactions

Otherwise it's a waste of time as you only get 1*N interactions.

Exactly. :)
