This virtual gathering of seasoned e-conferencing professionals are a click away to answer questions on a variety of topics, including getting started with conferencing, using e-conferencing for training and development programs, and adding streaming media to presentations. With a three-pronged approach, this group of conferencing experts will participate in editorial discussions through one-on-one meetings and virtual roundtables, and broadcasts through live web events and special programs. In addition, they will participate in creating an exclusive online e-conferencing guide.
