How do you do a video conference on Skype?
Q. I downloaded skype to use with my teammates, and we were trying to figure out how to do a video conference but could not get it to work.

Is this possible, or can you only do voice group conferences and not video group conferences?

That's one time limit. Are you going to be providing any materials? You or your presenters will need to know how many attendees to provide materials for. There's another factor. You need to make estimates of the number of attendees so you know the size of rooms to reserve, etc. For the type of conferences I organized (educational for professional continuing ed), the sooner I knew how many people were coming, the better. Organization started sometimes 2 or more years in advance. Speakers were booked that far out & facilities arrangement were as well. Depending… [cont.]

What are some tips for a paper presentation at a conference?
Q. I will be presenting my first paper (of academic nature) at a regional conference. I know that the worst thing to do is read your paper.
