ONLINE ACCESS!
http://www.umuc.edu/cip/symposium/simulcast.shtml

For those who are interested in participating in this symposium, 
but are not able to travel to Adelphi, MD, the CIP is pleased to 
offer two online opportunities to attend the program and to 
participate in the discussions.

For the first time, you may now join this event in the 
Internet-based virtual world of Second Life.  Whether you are 
already active in Second Life or have never entered this online 
world, you may register to attend and to participate in this 
unique online program, which is being hosted in a secure academic 
virtual conference center.  What better way to explore this 
year's symposium theme of playing the innovation game than to do 
so within the Second Life metaverse, an environment rich with 
innovation and creativity?

If you are interested in participating in this online offering of 
the symposium program but you are either technologically unable 
or would prefer not to do so via Second Life, you may still join 
us through our traditional webcast.  This live webcast stream is 
accessible either as an individual or with colleagues from your 
institution for a special group rate.

Register today for access to the CIP Symposium Simulcast:

* Individuals: $225 (Second Life simulcast or traditional 
webcast)

* Institutions: $575 (traditional webcast ONLY, for 3+ 
individuals from the same institution/organization)

Full details on the symposium and the simulcast, including registration,
