Online conference/seminar
I’m in the process of organising a couple of online conferences and in the market for some good advice. Has anyone had good or bad experiences with particular services or approaches? The elements I want to include are pretty standard: Speaker presentations via webcam, presentation slides and a chat facility. Is there something else I should definitely factor in? I’m currently looking at WebEx (as the most obvious place to start).
The only ones I've taken part in were in Breeze, which had the advantage that participants could chat (literally), but with a phone (or I think you could use a mike). That seemed to make the speaking easier, (and I think can get over potential firewall problems).

I second the Breeze recommendation.

This is an old post but the subject may still be of interest to many. There's an open source videoconferencing & application sharing solution called DimDim. It's still in alpha quality and by now it works only on (grrr...) Internet Explorer 6 on Windows (XP/2000/2003). The final product should be ready for the first quarter 2007. It might be worth the wait...
Ciao Josie,
Luca

If you are looking to do video presentations with Powerpoint, I would reccomend the Baloka Meeting Room by Batipi.com. They have flat monthly rates or managed event pricing.
