David here. I seem to have been less clever than I thought I was.
Eagle-eyed Exhibitor, Francesca Sutcliffe, spotted that two of the image links were broken.
Repair done, although the Upload Guide pdf can’t be updated until the morning. (Correction: done now - http://support.6connex.co.uk/kb/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/UKTI-Content-Upload-Guide2.pdf)
All the links here work:

Thank you Francesca. Appreciated.
Word has started to seep out that we’re providing the virtual platform to support the British Business Embassy’s ICT day. We’ll tell you more later but, for now, here’s a little video we’ve prepared for the hundred or so virtual exhibitors:
One of the great things about virtual events is that they don’t ever have to die. Some just keep rolling, like Airway World. This is an organisation which specialises in airway management for medical professionals (airway in this context is human breathing mechanisms). It runs several events each year in its virtual auditorium and archives them so anyone can pick them up later.
You may be interested in seeing how this professional development organisation uses the 6Connex platform.
Here are some upcoming events:
June 13, September 12 and December 12
Quarterly Airway Management Research Update with Ron M. Walls, MD
June 28
CPAP Preoxygenation and Delayed Sequence Intubation with Scott D. Weingart, MD, Director of ED Critical Care at Mount Sinai School of Medicine
And these are some archived events:
Preventing Disasters in Ventilation Management Post Airway Control
Airway Management and Obesity
March 2012 Airway Management Research Update
All of the 2011 Quarterly Research Updates are archived as well.
Good to see that AT&T has chosen to use 6Connex to host its “Evolve Your UC Strategy” event on June 20th.
During the 60 minute virtual event, AT&T executives will share what’s likely to come in the future of unified communications (UC). They will share how these upcoming enhancements may give your business new ways to communicate and collaborate more effectively.
You’ll learn about:
- Trends affecting today’s organizations
- The need for a new generation of unified communications
- What’s coming in UC
- The benefits to your business
We also invite you to participate in a Q&A with panel experts and take advantage of the UC zone with information to help you in your own UC journey.
Join us at 11 am ET/ /4 pm UK time.
Registration is at https://att.6connex.com/portal/attuczone/login/
If you’re new to 6Connex, we thought you might like to see a selection of videos to acclimatise yourself to the platform’s potential. The first four are quick looks from the EMEA team. The last two are from the US team and go deeper.

An event that attracted 500+ delegates for 30 years (up to the early 90′s) became unsustainable due to budget and travel restrictions.
Now, with the help of 6Connex, it’s back as an online event and it’s targeting more delegates than ever.
The American Road & Transportation Builders Association (ARTBA) is behind LoTrans™ 2012 – the Local Transportation Asset Management Virtual Conference & Innovation Showcase. Its press release says that it:
… will bring a first-class, virtual education and exhibition experience to the desktops of tens of thousands city and county government officials who annually manage $50 billion in transportation infrastructure capital investments, maintenance, engineering and traffic services, and snow removal.
It will run September 18-20 and delegates can join in for free, directly from their desktops.
“Think of LoTrans™ as webinars on steroids,” says 2012 ARTBA Chairman Paul Yarossi, president of HNTB Holdings. “With tight budgets, it’s very hard for most public officials to travel today. We are breaking down this barrier by going to them with a world-class, virtual conference and trade show they can attend for free from their office computer or laptop.”

If you’re interested in the background to the association, here goes:
Michigan public official, Horatio A. Earle, started ARTBA 110 years ago. Its mission was to advocate federal support for his vision of building a national “Capital Connecting Highway System”—a network of modern, paved, at least two lane roads that would connect every state capital with the others and with the Nation’s Capital, Washington, D.C. Earle’s vision, of course, was realized in 1956 when Congress authorized the Interstate Highway Construction Program and a federal Highway Trust Fund to support it. It is arguably one of the greatest association accomplishments ever.
You may be interested in a piece that appeared in CIO UK magazine this week. We were asked to provide an article on “how email bans can help CIOs move culture towards an online meeting place.”
“Right up our street”, we thought, but we couldn’t do it without a proper look at email reduction and social replacements, before getting to online meeting places. And we had to write the piece from a non-partisan viewpoint. We called it Escape from email jail.
We’ve had some great feedback. Here’s one:
Dion Hinchcliffe is an internationally recognised business strategist, enterprise architect and consultant on social business and next generation enterprises. He Tweeted Escape from email jail in CIO UK Magazine is a great enterprisey take on social business.
Well, thank you Dion.
We hope you enjoy it too.
What should we call these things? Virtual events or digital events? Or, even online events?
Whatever you want to call them (and we’d love to hear your thoughts), here are a few from the 6Connex calendar. If you’re interested in the subject you might want to take a peek.
Oracle is having a virtual development day for Java on February 28th for Europe, Russia and Africa.
Airway World is a roving specialist conference for medical specialists in breathing issues.
The Association of Boarding Schools (TABS) has a Summer Camps Expo on 28 March.
Enjoy. And do get in touch if we might be able to help you.
Towards the end of last year Information World Review magazine asked David Tebbutt to write a piece on virtual experiences, without overtly plugging 6Connex. He must have done something right because it was published in the Online Information conference issue.

Don’t be put off by the first four paragraphs. He was a regular columnist for the magazine until early last year, so he was writing for ‘friends’.
