PLEASE NOTE: The PPV access passwords can only used by a SINGLE

necessary) the broadcast during the duration of the conference. In
addition, each PPV access ticket is "metered" and can only be used to
view up to a maximum of approximately 27 viewing hours over the
conference availability window.
3) On the actual day of the conference, click on
the link provided above and enter the information requested in the
EXISTING ID area of the form to begin

The conference is currently scheduled to run

days. (6 AM through 2 PM Pacific) The opening ceremony on Thursday
AM, January 22nd is currently scheduled to commence slightly earlier, at
8:50 AM Eastern.

agenda.
4) For those that
cannot watch the event live in its entirety, or need to view it in a
more flexible manner, archives of the major morning and
afternoon conference segments will be created and released on a
"real-time", incremental basis during the conference, allowing for
limited "on-demand" viewing during the live conference streaming window
and for a limited time immediately following the conference. While
the archives are open, they will be accessible 24/7.
For example, this option will allow West Coast viewers
to begin to access the conference 3-4 hours after it actually occurs and will
allow East Coast viewers to access the conference during the evening
hours after live streaming ceases for the day-- or even while live
streaming of other conference segments is occurring.
Please note: Your PPV conference "ticket" is restricted
to a single user and cannot be used to view more than approximately 27 total hours of
streaming, using either the "live" or (limited) "on-demand" modes.
5) The broadcast will be encoded in "Windows
Media" format.
You will need Windows Media Player to access and
view the video stream. To test your connection in advance of the event and
make sure you have the correct software version of Windows Media Player,
