Community Access '96 Virtual Conference http://highlander.cbnet.ns.ca/cbnet/events/confhome.html For more information: davidley@odyssee.net
On-line participants of the upcoming Community Access '96 Virtual conference will be able to participate in French or English. Organized by the Centre for Community and Enterprise Networking (C\CEN) of the University College of Cape Breton, the Community Access '96 conference will be the first in the world (so far as we know) to offer live, on-line simultaneous translation.
From November 21st to 23rd, Sydney, Nova Scotia will be the site of one of the most important community access events of the year. Using Internet Relay Chat (IRC), workshops and plenary sessions at the conference will be broadcast on-line. "Virtual Attendees" of the conference will have a text read out, in French or English, of what is being said at the conference. They will be able to ask questions and interact with other on-site and on-line participants.
HOW CAN YOU PARTICIPATE?
REGISTER FOR THE ON-LINE EVENTS We will be broadcasting live from the conference workshops and plenary events. Our on-line schedule includes a wide range of topics including "Strategies for Community Access," "Business and the Internet: Success Stories," "Current Initiatives in Community Health and the Internet," and many more. From your remote locations, you'll be able to "tune in" to the various events, receive a live text read out of what is being said, and ask questions and interact with our speakers and other conference participants. For more information on the on-line schedule or for registration information, please contact us by telephone or e-mail (contact information at the end of this message).
PARTICIPATE IN THE E-MAIL DISCUSSION LISTS We've set up a number of e-mail discussion lists for the conference. Although translation will not be available, postings are accepted and encouraged in both French and English. For more information on the e-mail discussion lists, please contact us by telephone or e-mail (contact information at the end of this message).
SUBMIT RESOURCES TO OUR WEB SITE Is there something all conference participants should know about community access? Is there a document, background paper or web site they would aid discussion at the conference? Let us know and we will add it to our conference web site.
There is a $20.00CAN fee to participate in the on-line workshops. There is no additional fee for on-site conference attendees to participate in the virtual conference. Community Access Projects (CAP) sites that wish to participate virtually are sponsored by C\CEN.
Community Access '96 is made possible through the support of Industry Canada, Enterprise Cape Breton Corporation, the Cape Breton County Economic Development Authority, the Cape Breton Regional Municipality and the University College of Cape Breton.
