TelCamp.tel Sets the Stage for Future TelCamps Worldwide
TORONTO, Canada, August 14 /PRNewswire/ -- - Inaugural Canadian TelCamp Set to Rock Toronto The Royal Ontario Museum, (ROM) will debut TelCamp 1 Toronto, Canada's first TelCamp. This grassroots initiative is designed to showcase the attributes of the .tel domain and is the first to employ the newly created TelCamp.tel site which provides automated registration and attendee lists, submissions for agenda topics and further .tel resources. "We're extremely pleased with the number and diversity of people that have pre-registered thus far, spanning realtors, lawyers, domain registrars, insurance brokers, students, domain experts and novices," said Scott Smith, one of the TelCamp organizers. "The TelCamp.tel model has been a godsend in helping to manage an event that by its very nature is organic." Telnic Communications Director Justin Hayward: "Building on the initial idea of TelCamp created by another member of the .tel community, TelCamp.tel is a fantastic structured resource that can be employed by the international TelCamp community as it will be handed on to subsequent organizers in future. As it's such a flexible platform, we're sure to see new features added as new events arise." "We took the core functionality of .tel and built the foundation of a dynamic, self-service system to assist all TelCamp organizers," explains Mark Kolb, also an event organizer and principal architect of the TelCamp.tel model. "From its inception, .tel has sparked fascination and controversy around the world. Hopefully, with the introduction of this interactive model, in addition to managing registrations, attendees and session topics, it will demonstrate the enormous versatility of .tel."
