Virtual Conferences

A few days ago, I mentioned that I was schedule to speak at a virtual conference today, and that I was curious how the attendance would be. I have no way of knowing how many people were at the conference, because there were multiple tracks going on. I couldn’t keep a constant watch on the participant counter because I had to focus on my presentation, but it seemed that about 60 people attended my session. By way of comparison, the last live presentation that I did at a physical conference only had about ten people. I am really starting to think that there might be something to virtual conferences.

My presentation was on disaster recovery for virtual servers. Yes, I spoke about virtualization at a virtual conference. Kind of ironic isn’t it? At any rate, I am told that a recording of my presentation will soon be available for download. Whenever I get a link to the recording, I will pass it along.
