The ability to be in two or more places at once is an amazing concept.  The ability to bring the world to you live at the drop of the hat is almost unbelievable.  The ability to simultaneously see, speak, and collaborate with people all over the world is unprecedented in human history.  But, that technology and capability is here today!  We do live in exciting times!

Not only can we do far more than ever before, the technology also brings a number of advantages over the standard way of getting from here to there.  Just some of the advantages of videoconferencing are listed below:

• It saves on travel costs.
• It saves travel time.
• It’s easier to have follow-up sessions.
• It’s easier to have more frequent meetings.
• It allows participants to remain in their own towns where they feel more comfortable.
• It’s easier to make last minute changes to the conference.
• It keeps you local where you have access to materials you might have forgotten to take with you.
• It’s much safer than traveling.
• It gets you back to your loved ones sooner.

Just the ability to save on time and money alone would be a huge benefit in itself.  And yet, videoconferencing gives you so much more!
