Bryght is going to the Olympics in Torino

Bryght is going to be attending the 2006 Winter Olympics in Torino, Italy. In partnership with New Media BC and Leading Edge BC, we're appearing in the Canada Pavillion there, conveniently right next to the accredited media center.

Kris Krug will be acting as industry chair and Dr. Andy Miah is the academic chair as we hold a symposium discussing "The Olympics and Web 2.0". Here's a snippet from the forthcoming announcement:

New interactive elements of the web are beginning to transform this by allowing people all over the world a greater closeness with their favourite sports, which can enable a fuller participation in the Olympic festival. This move from passive spectatorship to total immersion holds great promise as Web 2.0 becomes a reality.

I'm going to use this particular story to demo NowPublic. Perhaps we might even join forces for the Torino event.
