On the

Networkers (APAN) conference, we have been very lucky to secure a day
long Video Workshop which is entitled ‘Leading Video Conference
adoption in the Education and Research sector’.
APAN brings together a myriad of networking experts from across Asia,
The Americas and Europe with a diverse group of talented speakers
presenting locally on topics relevant to National Research and
Education video conference service providers.

-
Garvan Long (IPFocus)
-
Simon Horne (H323.net)
-
Kathy Reid (Deakin)

Topics will range from streaming media with updates from the
in-progress AARNet Streaming Media project group, video conferencing
desktop developments including the provision of VC services to
disparate networks beyond the NREN boundaries, the ad-hoc vs centrally
booked/scheduled developments in MCU capacity and centralised video
transcoding services and will also include a panel session on the
future of collaboration services and the role of the NREN in the next
3-5 years.
