Conferences & Events, Video Conferencing
Megaconference IX will be held on November 8-9 2007 (Nov 8 @ 11pm - Nov 9 @ 2pm AEST). You are invited to participate, and if you wish, also submit a proposed interaction.

Interested??? Read below.

The Megaconference is the world's largest video conference (400 locations around the world) and everyone in the world with H.323 or compatible equipment is invited to participate. See last year's program for a complete listing of all the varied kinds of events that take place. A special new feature this year is the Flag of Earth, which symbolizes world togetherness and fits in well with the goals of the Megaconference.

DETAILS

You can get an idea of the type of interaction desired by looking at last year's program, at http://www.megaconference.org . Each interaction is 15 minutes long. Interactions which demonstrate new or novel applications of videoconferencing technology, increase world understanding, and are interactive are preferred. Musical presentations are also invited. The deadline for proposals is September 21, but please send your proposal in as soon as possible. A paragraph describing it is sufficient.

Videoconferencing is inherently an interactive medium, and to encourage that, we are using the term "interactions" rather than "presentations" to describe these parts of the Megaconference.
Each proposal is required to be interactive, involving at least a total of two locations.

Truly performance-based presentations such as music, dance etc need not involve more than one site, but it is still encouraged.

Registration closes October 18.

See http://www.megaconference.org both to register as a participant, and to propose an interaction.

  1. Kicking off discussion here for proposed interactions. We are currently looking at an underwater video conference, speaking live with a diver in a reef tank. At present we only have a one sided interaction, but if anyone knows a marine researcher or similar that can join in we could kick off something along these lines. Cheers, Jason
