The Megaconference gives you a unique opportunity to meet people and 
cultures from all over the world.  This helps to counteract the 
tendency of people to become more isolated in their own small
environment.    Everyone in the world with H.323 video conferencing 
is invited to participate. There is no cost.   Please join us all on 
Nov 2, all day, all over the world.

The DEADLINE for registration is NOON FRIDAY OCT 20 (EDT, GMT-5). 
DON'T MISS IT!

So far there have been 15 door prizes donated by various vendors, 
including two desktop video workstations valued at $2000 each. 
These will all be awarded by random drawing during the roll calls. You
will also have a chance to say hello to the world in whatever way 
you wish when we call on you in the roll call.   There will be vendor 
presentations describing all the latest video equipment.

There are many wonderful and educational Interactions (used to be 
called Presentations) that will be given.

If you have any trouble registering, or if you do not appear on the 
web site registration list after you register (wait a day or so), 
please let me know. See the list of your fellow registrants at:
