15 . The computer program product of claim 14 wherein the physical space is associated with one or more of:
sporting events;
cultural festivals;
religious pilgrimages;
political events;
social events;
technology conferences; and
pop culture conventions.
16 . The computer program product of claim 14 wherein directing content concerning the common interest to the space includes:
directing content concerning the common interest to content rendering devices within the physical space.
17 . The computer program product of claim 11 wherein the space is a virtual space.
18 . The computer program product of claim 17 wherein directing content concerning the common interest to the space includes:
directing virtual content to a portion of a communications network associated with the virtual space.
19 . The computer program product of claim 18 wherein the portion of a communications network associated with the virtual space includes one or more of:
one or more social media platforms;
one or more websites;
one or more video-sharing platforms;
one or more virtual reality platforms;
one or more gaming platforms;

one or more blog platforms.
20 . The computer program product of claim 17 wherein directing content concerning the common interest to the space further includes:
directing virtual content to one or more devices associated with the group of attendees.
21 . A computing system including a processor and memory configured to perform operations comprising:
monitoring a group of attendees within a space to determine if a common interest exists amongst the group of attendees; and
if the common interest exists, directing content concerning the common interest to the space.
22 . The computing system of claim 21 wherein monitoring a group of attendees within a space to determine if a common interest exists amongst the group of attendees includes:
obtaining electronic identification data for one or more of the group of attendees.
23 . The computing system of claim 21 wherein monitoring a group of attendees within a space to determine if a common interest exists amongst the group of attendees includes:
associating one or more of the group of attendees with a social media account, thus defining one or more associated media accounts; and
monitoring activity on the one or more associated media accounts.
24 . The computing system of claim 21 wherein the space is a physical space.
