Chat:
We’re going to try using a Meebo room that should work better from behind company firewalls. We couldn’t connect to the chat room from the event last time and missed a lot of "back channel" discussions. Let us know what you think!

Video:
We’ll be using our Mogulus video channel again this time, and we expect better video performance this time. We’ll be limiting the number of cams and the number of folks at the event watching the feed while they’re there. This should help the outgoing stream and our recording abilities!
