2012 Conference
Preliminary recordings from SmallTown2012:
Recording 1 – 180 minutes
Recording 2 – 136 minutes
Recording 3 – 56 minutes
Recording 4 – 155 minutes
We’ll have individual videos for each speaker once our student volunteers finish their editing.
Presentations:
- Emergency communications, Martin Focazio: slides (PPT), video (MOV). Martin joined us via Skype, so he sent a video and copy of his slides as backup, so we’re sharing them here. (It took him 4.5 hours to upload the video using a 2G connection, so show Marty your appreciation!)
- The Micropolitan Manifesto: Katie McCaskey: video (youtube). Katie sent a video as well, so we’re sharing it, too.
