Can’t believe it’s been 16 years since I organised the world’s first virtual web conference (it was called <head>, it took place over 3 days, had 4 simultaneous tracks, over 70 speakers, and local in-world conference hubs in London, Manchester, Brigthon, Fribourg, and San Francisco, as well as as pre-conference party and a separate virtual hub in Second Life).

@aral Very cool - I remember that!

Now you've reminded me of the hybrid Cybermind Conference I ran in 1996! We used a MOO for the online interactive space (which was visible on a side screen at all times), and streamed everything from the main venue on RealAudio and CU-SeeMe!
