In this episode Andrew Middleton creates a commentary on the use of technologies whilst attending a two day conference - remotely. He attempts to answer the question: how does virtual attendance compare to attending a conference in person? As well as using the Adobe Acrobat Connections webinar system and communicating through the back channel, the podcast discusses many other communication channels including Twitter and several blogs and Ning spaces in order to engage with other participants and their interests and expertise.
