NASA Lunar Science Forum Goes Virtual
NASA Lunar Science Forum 2013 Will be a VIRTUAL Conference With NO “In-Person” Component This Year
“Due to the recent government restrictions on travel, The NASA Lunar Science Institute will broadcast the annual NASA Lunar Science Forum (LSF) as a virtual conference the week of July 15-19, 2013. The conference will be broadcast between the hours of 9 a.m. – 3 p.m. PDT, Monday-Friday, to accommodate a wide spread in time zones. Presentations will be delivered using a combination of Adobe Connect and a telecom line for participation. Adobe Connect can host 500 combined domestic and international logins to the presentations. Any number of individuals can gather at their home institutions and connect as a group, but the total number of individual connections cannot exceed 500.”
You know? If done right, this could spark a greater participation and reach, and more impact among the public. I mean, I would attend a couple of internet conferences… and I live in Spain. How accessible will this be for a public spectator like me?
