Today's highlights: Collaborative Technologies Conference; EMC and Interwise for Real-time eRoom; OZ Gets Sprint; Novell GroupWise Roadmap;
- MediaLive International is holding its first ever "Collaborative Technologies Conference", June 19-22 2005 in New York. The Collaborative Technologies Conference will provide an enterprise-level view of technology applications that focus on managing communications between individuals and groups within any collaborative environment. Fueled by the ubiquity in IP communications, this event will focus on real time presence-aware collaboration tools and services such as instant messaging, voice and video communication, team collaboration environments, email, calendaring, wikis, blogging and related standardization and compliance issues. Looks like a "must-attend" show. BusinessWire
