"Please test the sound"!!! This was my urgent IM from John I seen flashing on my screen on Tuesday evening !! LOL

This was my call that prep had started for today's event "Ignite NSW". First testing the sound at Onlinevents headquarters. Then over to the conference. How could we have missed the venue, the signs where all over the place hehe.

This is a great venue for this conference!! http://www.mq.edu.au/ltc/ignite/

Again we had the chat bridge on our website http://www.onlinevents.co.uk/ with the chat room having chat from both SL and the website.

This is why I love being part of Onlinevents, last week we where streaming from New York, and today this live stream from Australia.

2nd Virtual Conference on Counseling (2VCC)

WOW!! What an event. We had a great time partnering up with Marty and Debra for the virtual conference. What a lot of work they put into this conference - which was totally obvious by the great success!!

We streamed the event live from our website http://www.onlinevents.co.uk/

John, Christie and I prepared ourselves for a night-shft as the event started 10 am NY time -(3pm our time until 3am) Wednesday to Saturday!! This was possible though coffee, tea, pizza's, curry, soup......and the rest.

We where watching online, attending the conference in SL, talking to each other in MSN. Yes 3 places at once. and I'm sure, yes positive, john was in more places IE twitter and such like!! At times it was very confusing, especially when it was getting into 2am and we were still going.

John Me Christie

This was a great team experience and an example of how relational being online is. We were spending time with attendees in SL and working close as a team in MSN. And at no point did i feel distanced from anyone.

John set up a studio which was amazing!!! So many things going on there at once!!! There where a few scary moments when we lost the stream or the Internet connection, but as everyone who spends time online knows these things come with the territory as they say.

We finished off the conference with a dance on the roof, which was very exciting!!!

The experience altogether was great and I look forward to a lot more in the future!!
