It is getting really close! You can see everyone who's registered for the conference, and I need to do only a couple of more of these posts to introduce everyone.

I looked around on the wiki a bit, but may have missed it -- are there any plans for doing webcasts or the like so those online can participate (or at least view) the conference remotely? Seems like ScienceOnline conferences could (should?) be the trendsetter on this front.

Looks like fun, wish I could go.

All sessions (but one) will be recorded and placed on YouTube. 40% of the sessions will be livestreamed on Ustream and in Second Life. Not on the wiki yet - though I blogged and tweeted about this a number of times already - but I will put the info up there tonight once I have exact URLs for the Ustream channel and the SecondLife address for all the livestreamed sessions.
