Netbriefings, a webcasting and video conferencing service provider that specializes in helping businesses communicate through video, has been selected to webcast the US - China Virtual Symposium November 11-14.The event, presented by Wainhouse Research in conjunction with Drexel University and the World Bank’s Global Development Learning Network focuses on the theme “Building Virtual Global Communities.” The symposium incorporates live webcasts, short video, blogs, live presentations and a host of other forms of communication.

Wainhouse Research Analyst, Stacy Austin-Li:

We are very excited about both the quality and accessibility of the program. The broad range of technologies — from traditional videoconferencing to the open source e-learning platform Moodle and video blogging and streaming tools provided by Netbriefings – speaks more about the variety of tools available than the pursuit of any ‘wow factor.’ Each collaborative technology was selected on the basis of its ability to help create community and involve participants without presenting new barriers to access, and we welcome interested parties to drop-in any time by visiting www.global-symposium.com.

Netbriefings video messaging services will be used by presenters to provide video enabled presentations for the on-demand and online portions of the conference. In addition, participants will be invited to use Proclaim as a social networking community building tool in which they will be able to share video snippets about their experiences at the symposium.
