I was hoping that someone would have a camera with a digital out 
(firewire or usb) so that I can plug the camera directly into my laptop 
to do the encoding and upload to the streaming server. However, I will 
also bring an analog to digital convertor if the cameras dont have 
digital out (ie they only have rca jacks) I can still grab the feed. 
Either way covered.

As I am not speaking at either day, my plan was to sit next to the 
camera and encode as we go. If I can't arrange to get a live webcast 
going, then at the least I may be able to upload video after each speaker.

One other thing - Paul do you have a tripod for the camera?

Paul - is there internet access at the venue for the 2nd and 3rd that we 
can use?
