Live recording of the 2008 Showcase:
The 2007 BIGWIG Showcase was such a hit, we decided to do it again. The topics for this year were driven by community voting, and several of the presenters volunteered right in our own forums.
The general idea for the BIGWIG Showcase is to highlight up-to-date technological innovations for libraries, while giving as broad an access as possible to the content and the presenters (even after the conference). The face to face portion of the BIGWIG Showcase 2008 will take place Saturday, June 28th at the ALA Annual Convention in the Marriott Anaheim Gold Key Rooms I-III from 1:30-3:30pm.
But even if you can't make it to the actual event, follow along in one of many, many ways:
