Even if you don't agree with someone, I think you should typically wait until the Q and A unless otherwise invited to interrupt by the presenters(s). Presumably (especially if there are concurrent sessions going), the audience attended the session to hear the speaker. However, if you want more of a socratic method or roundtable discussion, that should be up to the presenter to decide and state as much when the sessions are being selected. Rob,

I don't totally disagree with you -- I do think many mid-large sized brokerages are going to wake up really soon and be very formidable foes to the independent broker. Rob-

I teach classes constantly and it's always a little odd to me when no questions are asked. If you know everything, why did you show up (and why can't I find you online)? Inman and even the Bar Camps I've attended don't get enough audience participation in my mind. Oh well, maybe someday. I’m looking for even more audience interruption.

It's sometimes nice for someone to be able to build a whole case before tearing it down (or not, if not necessary). I love the presentations at TED, that follow that format.
