Welcome to ConferencingNews: Infinite Conferencing provides this e-newsletter to help organizations maximize the value of phone and Web conferencing services.

Wouldn't it be terrific if you could bring together people with disparate points of view and let them share their thoughts anonymously? Well, you can. And, that's precisely what one of our customers did.

The promise of anonymity gave Entira, an agricultural marketing company, the means to encourage a very open and honest discussion between farmers and their suppliers. Entira's successful Web conference is one of the topics we explore in this month's issue.

We hope this issue of Conferencing News provides tips that help you leverage phone and Web conferencing services. We'd love to hear from you and learn from your experiences. Please share your conferencing best practices with us.

Sincerely,

Dave Kott, Vice President of Sales and Marketing
