Telepresence Options 2008 will feature a comprehensive overview of the technologies, vendors, and inter-networking options available for telepresence conferencing. The guide will be essential to executives, technologists, educators and organizations interested in leveraging telepresence technologies to improve their ability to collaborate effectively with their branch offices, joint venture partners, vendors, customers and supply chains globally.  Company Profiles and Solutions Reviews of telepresence and inter-networking telepresence solutions will begin posting to the site in the coming days and weeks.

The website is a companion to the Lab's upcoming publication Telepresence Options 2008 which will be released in hard copy and as a downloadable PDF in January 2008. The project will also include a companion DVD and Internet video channel featuring the Lab's original videography on telepresence, inter-networking telepresence and the emerging telepresence industry including product overviews and interviews with the key executives and personalities revolutionizing telepresence and effective visual collaboration.  Those interested can register to receive a free copy of Telepresence Options 2008 at www.telepresenceoptions.com/syndication/
