I just discovered the best alternative of attending a conference. You don't have to travel that long distance, no hassle, little cost. Just sit at home or work and 'attend' the conference online. This is for real.
For long they have got all this webcast that come with all those major conferences like ACC, AHA, ESC Congress, EuroPCR. However, I never explored fully into. I knew of the European one, that sell you a CD or package that contain most of the scientific session. However, it all make a stunning revelation when I discovered ISCIENCE, an ACC package that allow you to follow all of the sessions of the American College of Cardiology Scientific meeting. I said all, because, that's what they are offering. For the delegate, you get up to $700USD discount on limited period, the deadline was yesterday, so I purchased it and was utterly impressed.
Though they have yet to post me the complete package, immediately following payment I was able to get online to the program website. And bingo, I can watch every session, fully videod with slides, just like attending the conference physically. Fantastic! I have started to watch a few sessions - which I missed during the conference.
The good thing is, even if you don't go to the conference, you can still purchase this package, of course at much higher price. Perhaps, it is easier to get sponsorship to BUY the package, than attending the congress itself, as it cost only a fraction of the full sponsorship! Or you can buy at your own cost, still worth the money, one full year of education! What a comprehensive digital library of scientific presentations, containing over 300 hours of sessions, great video quality. Continuous learning made so easy now!
