Regards technology, I have seen used to some effect:
Google Forms
Google Docs
​Hackpad

However the social technology needs to match.  These all work very well if
the group culture is to bring laptops to an event.​  They are little use if
not.

​I also hosted an event with a (stationary) video camera set up in a booth
for video recording.  Not many of the hosts chose to record something,
though I'm sure some of the video we collected was good!  However editing
and sharing it was not very efficient and I think it never got used.

​I am yet to see an elegant harvesting solution for a participatory event
with relative strangers...
