bea participate 2008

For Participate 2008, BEA has contracted our development team to build a suite of social applications for AquaLogic Interaction (formerly known as the Plumtree Portal) that will allow conference attendees to network with one another on iPod Touches that BEA will be providing at the conference.

Imagine this: instead of raising your hand to ask a question, use your WiFi-enabled iPod Touch to post the question on the session's wall while the session is in progress. Then, at the end of the session, the presenter can pull up the session's wall on the projector and field the questions. Like the presenter? Ask him or her to be your contact or join one of your groups! Meet an influential C-level executive who's an expert in SOA governance and want to get to know him better? You can poke him or leave a message on his wall.

Leave your business cards at home -- instead use these great bdg built/ALI-powered applications!

This is revolutionary, game-changing stuff. And this is why we're excited about Participate 2008. We hope you are too.
