Conferences starting to use slideshare

by jon on October 13, 2006

We’re starting to see conferences using slideshare as a way of getting all the slides from a conference onto an online archive. A conference organizer can get an account on slideshare and upload all the slideshows (this is what the NRCP 06 conference, a conference for paralegals, has done). Alternately, the conference organizer can just tell speakers to upload their slideshows to slideshare, and to use a meaningful tag to describe the conference. For example, the webdirections 2006 conference in Sydney is tagging their slideshows “wd06″.

In either case, once the slideshows are on slideshare, they can be embedded back into the conference website using a simple “embed code”.

Yes, we certainly have done this for the Web Directions materials as they come in. Can I just say you guys have got a seriously cool tool happening here: very very impressed by the ease of use and simplicity of the whole app. You’ve enabled us to take the usefulness of post-conference materials to a whole new level. Congratulations!
