January 21, 2011

I was at the Virtual Edge Summit (VES11) last week in Las Vegas  which was co-located with PCMA’s Convening Leaders conference.  PCMA is the acronym for the Professional Convention Management Association.

November 11, 2010

I’m always cognizant of what Ellen Wagner (formerly with Adobe) said while writing about web conferencing technologies around the time Blackboard bought Wimba and Elluminate and combined them to create Blackboard Collaborate (for edu-types, I’ll insert the ‘muwhahahaha’ just for you).
