Virtual conferences
Don’t like to promote too much work stuff on this blog, but I’m really intrigued about EE Times Multicore Virtual Conference, and virtual conferences in general. Will these virtual conferences start to replace some (never all) regular conferences? And, speaking as an idealist here, could this open up conferences to more people in less prosperous parts of the world? And save some jet fuel, helping the environment?
I’m not advocating the end of personal contact, still the best way to really know one another and really share information. But, if done right, virtual conferences could be a good thing for connecting the world.
All great ideas but I would also add another item to it: consider doing a virtual event/meeting. Virtual events and meetings are a great way to deliver training and enable collaboration especially with travel budgets cut. These solutions are being deployed so rapidly by companies that the market is projected to exceed $18 billion by 2015. If you are interested in how you can use virtual environments attend the Virtual Edge Summit Feb. 22-23 (virtually or in-person if you are in/near Silicon Valley). There is no registration fee if you take a short survey.
Virtual Edge Summit 2010 is the only event that focuses exclusively on providing education, training and solutions for planning and producing virtual events, meetings and communities. Over 2 days, 80 experts will share their experience with you, and be available for one-on-ones. The event also offers a rich program for featuring experts from Cisco, Stanford, IBM, Disney SAP, Oracle, Intel as well as top virtual technology and service providers like InXpo, ON24, 6Connex, Stream57, CGS VirtualEvents365, George P. Johnson, Unisfair and Digitell.
