You often hear some amazing quotes when you attend an event.

Break convention with traditional events and crowdsource your speakers just like TFT.
Here's a list of all the coverage that TFT13 received.
By making a list of your speakers, you can request people embed your list on their blog. If more people embed your lists then more people will learn about your event.
You don't need to wait for the organizer to make a list. You don't need permission. Simply make your list and start sharing it.
Here's a list from Content Marketing Word 2012 made by Andrew Davis
Andrew just made a new list for Content Marketing Word 2013
Organizers can create attendee lists, but some are resistant.
You don't need permission to create your own list. Share it and ask people to add themselves to the list.
Sharing the content for your event is something you can do to make it easy for people to share.
Sometimes the content is posted on each speaker's page on Slideshare, for example.
Making a list of the content across Slideshare, Prezi etc just makes it easier for more people to discover, embed and share it
There's always a collection of events you can attend in any given niché.

Here's an example in Texas
Perhaps you discover a whole bunch of great books as a result of attending an event.
Why not share them as a list
Tools like Audioboo make it super simple to share what you hear at an event.
Collect your recording on a list like this example from Social Media Camp 2012
Gather a collection of conversations recorded via Google Hangout just like Jane Boyd did here.
Jane has turned making these conversations into a business opportunity.
