Approach:
- Live video dial-up conference call will be running continuously during the event

- Presenters can present live, can be given control
- Videos will be shown from Redmond on pre-set schedules, with intro and exit from the "owner" of the video. Video owner may call in or be present at studio in Redmond.
- Most presentations should plan for (?15 minutes?)
