> We have over forty papers being presented, by leaders in the field of
> video and videoconferencing in Europe and North America. One of the
> features of the DIVERSE conferences is that they are small
> conferences, enabling effective networking for all of the
> participants. This does mean, however, that places are very limited,
> and the majority of them have already been filled. Registering soon is
> therefore advised.
