SPONSORS

Over the years, the Megaconference has provided our community with a venue to test the limits of video collaboration technology while making personal connections around the world. After a four year hiatus, Internet2 is very pleased to announce that the Megaconference will return this year on December 4th. Anyone and everyone are invited to connect using H.323 or SIP videoconferencing to participate in presentations from researchers, educators, engineers, students, and vendors, in what we hope to be the biggest Megaconference ever. The theme this year will continue where the last Megaconference left off: "Breaking Down the Barriers: Global Connections".

Megaconference will be held all over the world on December 4th, 2012 from 12:00 GMT - 0:00 GMT (that's 7am EST - 7pm EST).
