Subject:RE: About TECHWR-L and a TECHWR-L Conference From:Melanie Shook <mshook -at- com2001 -dot- com> To:"TECHWR-L" <techwr-l -at- lists -dot- raycomm -dot- com> Date:Tue, 17 Apr 2001 15:57:42 -0500
What about an online conference that uses something like PlaceWare?
Individuals could present slides over the internet, everyone can listen over
a telephone line, have a live question and answer session, etc. It would
save the cost of airfare, hotels, meeting rooms, etc. Not the same as being
there, but it could be a good way to gain and distribute technical
knowledge.
(Note - PlaceWare only lists the price of annual hosting on their website -
I don't know what the cost of a single event would be.)
