Virtual On-Line Attendees - What do we need to know??

[ncmacasl]

Just got confirmation (and a check) that I am attending on-line. What do we need to know??

Will be attending with at least my assistant (who does most of the weekly set-up and tear down of our portable media system and helps me prepare MediaShout for the weekly services. He also helps to train all of our new recruits. And did I mention he is my 11-year old son??)

Hopefully others from our Media team will be able to attend, as well.

I'm looking for an agenda so I can make plans, too.

It was just awesome last year!

So when is the first LIVE test feed we can use to set up our stuff??

Or is there a simlar live feed (with similar specs, parameters) we can go to so we can get all the hardware working properly before going live fro the event??

We're going to try to work all this stuff out tonight and tomorrow morning.

To answer part of your question, the schedule is on the website:
http://www.refreshyourimage.net/schedule.htm

Presuming all the techinical issues are worked out, everything from the Main Auditorium (both General Sessions and breakout classes) will be streamed live.

All General Sessions and breakout classes will be uploaded to the CMN website, except for the Midnight Oil sessions & classes.

The General Sessions and classes from the Midnight Oil guys (Len & Jason) will only be available for a limited time (a maximum of one week) and they will only be available through streaming.

Of course, all General Sessions and classes are only available to those who are registered (either onsite or online) for the conference.

I'm available to test on Mac and Windows anytime tomorrow except between 8 and 8:30 (maybe 9am) am your time.

Have browsers, have platforms ... will surf!

When there is a live feed, you'll be able to get to it from the 2008 Convention Attendees forum.

It's the first forum in the list on the home page, and under the "Browse Community" menu pull-down.

If anybody is registered for the convention and cannot see the forum, please let me know!
