Online Conference Centers
Traditionally, a conference is a meeting between people with a common interest, who participate in discussions or lectures. The duration of a conference generally ranges between one day to a week.. With the advent in social computing concepts, the description of a conference has evolved a bit. Now it is possible to conduct a conference without the physical presence of participants.
Similar results can be achieved through online conferencing.

Further, the conference can be saved and e-mailed to those who missed it. Attendees can even provide feedback in real-time through discussion boards attached to presentations.
