We've selected the best of our available tracks at all of our conferences and provided that for online viewing. The biggest problem seems to be estimating how many people are interested in attending online. Right now, our average is about 2x as many as we get for the live conference. But, really, I don't think so. There is a need to have live in-person meeting opportunities.
Online conferences help to complement that.
Together the two are an unbeatable combination. We aren't in the business of making money off our conferences, our goal is to provide forums for getting information to our customers. All of our online conferences take place on E-Business Network. The conferences will just allow users the opportunity to drill down on more specific content at one time.
