Tools like Storify (http://storify.com/) and CoverItLive
(http://www.coveritlive.com/) are good for capturing and saving tweets
to look over again later - both work well for events particularly if you
use a consistent hashtag (a word with the hash sign in front of it, e.g.
#CIGEforum).

That's excessively brave! :)
I'll let others comment further on the usefulness of Twitter for
watching events that you are not attending but it's certainly something
I've done before now and sometimes it's a brilliant way to catch up,
sometimes it's less useful than blogs and later write ups of the same
event.
