BILive Online:

Attending the BIL Conference

 

Welcome to BILive!  Attending BIL is like walking into a room with thousands of great ideas and unique interactions you can't find anywhere else. All the radical participation and ideas are what make BIL such a successful event every year. Up until now, the BIL experience has been limited by the number of participants and ideas that can be squeezed into a couple days. 

 

Now imagine, what if there were no limits on the number of people that could participate? Well, with BILive we will find out. 

 

We are excited to introduce a new form of participation that will bring together all BILders and BILive attendees. It's global, live, fully interactive and community driven, and if you can't make it to the Queen Mary, BILive is the only way to experience BIL. This live online experience will offer participants a fully interactive virtual BIL experience. So, for people who can't be there in person, BILive is an opportunity to contribute by watching live presentations, participating in Google Hangout discussions, or even delivering your own presentation. BILive attendees will have the same opportunity to participate as anyone who is here in person. It will include presentations, interviews with keynote speakers, comments from BILive members, breakout discussion and much more. And best of all, its free to watch. 

 

Thanks to the Google+ platform and Google Hangouts, watching the live broadcast is only the beginning of the BILive experience. For those who want to participate, BILive offers a number of different options.  Discussions held in Google Hangouts online or aboard the Queen Mary will be open forums where you can join the conversation and interact with presenters and participants. Certain Google Hangout discussions and presentations will even appear on the main screen at the actual event. That means, someone in Finland can present live to the BIL conference on the main stage - or that a BILder on site could lead a Google Hangout with people across the wold to explore new ideas.  

 

If you want to participate, you need a Google+ account, and guess what, they are free and only take a few minutes to set up. Once you have an account, you will need to add the BIL Conference page to one of your "Circles" on Google+. After that you will be ready to join the Hangout. If you have any trouble setting up your Google+ account, a step by step guide is available on the BIL wiki page. We suggest you set up your account today so can participate in BILive right from the start. 

 

The live broadcast will allow anyone to watch BIL from anywhere in the world and Google Hangouts will allow viewers to participate,interact, and present in real time with the BIL community. We are very excited about BILive and eager to see what BILders will be able to do with these awesome tools. Remember, YOU are BIL.
