Whether or not you will be in Mexico from July 21-25 for IAMCR's annual conference, there are a number of ways of following the conference online and sharing your comments or questions with colleagues around the world on the Internet.
These include live webcasts of most of the main sessions, recorded podcasts, Facebook, Twitter, the IAMCR website, the conference website, IAMCR's announcements mailing list, and your own blogs.
The Central Programme of IAMCR's 2009 conference in Mexico will be webcast live on the Mexican Congress Channel and on UNAM's webcast site. Podcasts will be available from UNAM's podcast site.
IAMCR's facebook group is at http://www.facebook.com/pages/IAMCR/106828524195 and the Mexico conference has an event page at http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=76260278466 . If you are at the conference, why not share some of your photos or leave a comment on the event's “wall”.
If you use Twitter, follow IAMCRtweets and make sure to include the tag iamcr in your own posts to make it easy for people to find them.
The conference programme and abstracts of the papers are available on the websites at iamcr.org and iamcr2009mexico.unam.mx. Any important announcements will also be posted there and to IAMCR's announcements list (subscribe to the list by typing your email address in the box at the bottom of this page).
Finally, if you are going to be blogging from Mexico, send the URL of your blog to membership[AT]iamcr.org. We'll publish a list of blogs on the IAMCR website.
