In February 10–12, 2011, the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI) organized a high level 2020 global conference titled "Leveraging Agriculture for Improving Nutrition and Health" in New Delhi, India (http://2020conference.ifpri.info). To support the conference, IFPRI's Knowledge Management team organized a collaborative bibliography of research publications relevant to the conference topics in an online public group "Agriculture, Nutrition, and Health" using Mendeley, a reference manager and academic social network. This group provides a space for researchers to share publications and partake in online discussions. This paper discusses how collaboration has been enabled among the different attendees of the conference. It also discusses how this collaboration has proven successful and impactful long after the conclusion of the conference.
