IDATE -- Nov 30 -- The very first virtual iDATE conference will be held in Dec 19th from 8am - 9pm EST. People attending the Miami event Jan 31 - Feb 1, 2008 will maximize their time and efficiency. The conference will allow delegates to see exhibitiors, learn what they do, have a chat with them and schedule appointments at their desks in their offices. The event is totally free for anyone to attend. The exhibitors can create a virtual booth with flash banners, images and videos to show their products. Click here to pre-register.

People need to understand how important this is:
1) If you can't make Miami on Jan 31, then the Virtual conference on Dec 19 allows you to at least speak with others.
2) You can plan meetings for Miami in advance and meet others that are attending. This will save hours of 'discovery time' at the event.
3) You can be proactive and introduce yourself to others online and find out who they are and what their companies do....
or
4) You can be passive....keep your browser open to the page and remain logged in. At the same time you can do work on your computer, answer phone calls, be in meetings, go to lunch, etc. Anyone interested in talking to you will show their interest.
5) VIDEO chat exists for this event. Try to get a webcam. You will be able to have video conferences with others in the business. Up to 4 people at a time can be in one conference. If you don't have a webcam, you can still audio chat or text chat.
Its ONE day, so you can still do all the things you need to do at work and not be distracted. All the execs in this business lack a common luxury: TIME. I understand that. That's the whole point of the one day virtual event: To be as efficient as possible in Miami come January 31.
The virtual event is an experiment. We're rolling the dice here. We think it will turn out good. But who knows? So its FREE for everybody. I do recommend you pre-register for the virtual conference:
