Registration is now open for the SURA-ViDe 2006 Digital Video conference. 
This conference has become a widely-recognized event for learning about 
development and deployment showcasing the growing promise of digital video 
technology. This year's conference will take place March 27-30 at the Georgia 
Tech Hotel and Conference Center in Atlanta, Georgia.

The conference begins Monday evening, March 27, with a reception and the 
keynote address by Rick Prelinger, founder of the Prelinger Archives and 
President of the Board of Directors of the Internet Archive. Tuesday and 
Wednesday are filled with birds-of-a-feather get-togethers and presentation 
sessions on automated video processing and analysis, conferencing, 
webcasting, streaming, real time collaboration, health sciences applications, 
digital libraries, public broadcasting, K-12 applications, firewall problems, 
VoIP projects, video searchability, big video, and more. And, for the first 
time, there will be a session where just the exhibitors speak.

Early registration will end February 28. Registration includes receptions 
Monday and Tuesday evening; and presentations, breakout sessions, continental 
breakfast, refreshment breaks, lunch, and wireless access on Tuesday and
