Second Office 2.0 Conference to experiment with iPhone collaboration
ITIRedux has announced that the second Office 2.0 Conference will take place in San Francisco from 5th-7th September 2007.
Each of the 500-750 delegates attending will receive an iPhone for the duration of the conference, making it one of the largest experiments for mobile and real-time collaboration ever attempted.
Etelos has developed exclusive applications for the event which will allow participants to wirelessly exchange contact information, schedule meetings, and provide real-time feedback during sessions. The venue will also provide a scalable Wi-Fi network offering access to any online application.
"The Office 2.0 Conference is a truly unique event entirely organized using online applications," said Ismael Ghalimi, event producer. "This year, we're pushing the envelope a step further by going 100% paperless and equipping every single attendee with Apple's wonderful iPhone. What will be learned from this large scale experiment should provide some unique insight on what online technologies are making possible today."
All very nice, but there could be a lot of unhappy delegates handing back shiny iPhones when it comes to the end of the conference.
