Very cool stuff! The content and speakers look very interesting, but what’s more intriguing to me is the format. I haven’t really seen this juxtaposition of digital media and event before, or at least not something that’s branded as an online conference. Perhaps there are other online conferences and I’m just behind the curve. :D
It will be interesting to see how this goes. Best of luck!

Hello,
It is very cool and I am very interested to join.
But I am wondering: How do we attend this online conference.
The conference 2008 was powered by Adobe Connect. But many speakers are not familiar with it, and the performance is just poor.

Hey there,
We’ll be using WebEx. It works like a treat, no matter what platform you’re on :)
Best,
Ryan

Hey! I’d love to attend.
But I don’t really get how this is going to work, will I need to install a client on my computer? What are you using for this?
Thank you!

Hey Armando,
You’ll need to install the WebEx component. It’s really easy though. We’ll send out instructions prior to the conference.
Hope you can join us.
Best,
Ryan

So, I assume the only folks who require webcams are the folks presenting. Us who will be viewing will just be watching a live stream? How does Q&A work? Some sort of live text chat application? I’m not familiar with WebEx.
I still require grabbing a ticket. Ehm. Soon. I promise. ;)
