Megaconference VII is Now Open for Your Participation.  Free!

Everyone in the world is invited to participate in the Megaconference, 1
December 2005, from the comfort of his or her own office, classroom, or
conference room.  Registration is now open via the web site
http://www.megaconference.org. Like any professional conference,
presenters and audience members will discuss current projects and
developments. Unlike other conferences, hundreds of participants will
gather simultaneously from all continents of the world using advanced
networks, from universities, K-12 schools, and organizations. This
year's theme -- Increasing Empathy Through Video Conferencing-- focuses
on improving understanding between individuals and cultures, using video
conferencing tools. The preliminary agenda will be posted very soon.
 
- Presentations will discuss and demonstrate how groups use
videoconferencing in real-world applications.  Actual end users of video
conferencing will especially be presenting; technical presentations will
be limited. All presentations will be fully interactive, engaging
multiple sites and the audience.

- Musical mini-concerts: Have you ever heard a Didgeridoo or the
Tennessee Schmaltz? You have if you attended a previous Megaconference!

- The ever-popular Global Roll Call will return, where each participant
will get a moment of fame to say hello to the world, sing the school
fight song, or do whatever they like.  You may see some funny hats.
People do very imaginative things!

- Door Prizes of videoconferencing equipment have been donated by major
vendors in the past.  The Grand Prize is often a $10,000 video station.

- Registration to participate begins today and ends November 23rd. To
participate, you'll need an H.323 or compatible videoconferencing
station.

See you then!
