ISEN-ASTC-L is a service of the Association of Science-Technology Centers
Incorporated, a worldwide network of science museums and related institutions.

Definitely. You may not be able to be an active participant due to
lag, but we will be streaming to The Tech in SL in our virtual IMAX
theater. We're still working out whether the roundtables will
include break-outs, and if so, how those individual discussions can
be shared virtually in parallel. But the main session and panel we
will stream.
Of course, for the 24/7 running discussion/debate/exploration of
these topics, join us anytime at The Tech in SL (SLURL: http://
tinyurl.com/3x7bf7) or on the web at http://thetechvirtual.org. We
are moving into "phase 2" and are opening up the exhibition topics to
include a larger range and would love to include many projects from
other museums. So if you have an interactive design project you'd
like to share with 200+ creative, productive folks, let me know!
