It's also worth mentioning that in these types of conferences,
audience can usually only communicate with moderator and others in their 'row.' Because conferences of this type can have ten thousand people potentially, there is no violent scrolling of hundreds of conversations, but rather a 'murmur' of people assigned closest to you.
Collaboration is a format that offers real-time viewing and modification of shared documents and files through Internet. No special software is required for any number of users to view a shared document. Collaboration answers need for teams in different locations to be able to work together simultaneously on a shared document.

This format may be used in conjunction with conferences, but less likely to be used in presentation unless it was a class on how to write a business letter, for example. In that case, a presenter could discuss things in conference while showing actual 'work' on shared document. =========================================================== Find out why web conferencing can slash your companies travel and communication costs.
