The Alliance of Youth Movements Summit brought together global youth groups and tech experts to find best ways of using digital media to tackle some of the world’s greatest challenges. Panels discussed a variety of practical topics, including How To Build Transnational Social Movements Using New Technology, How To Use New Mobile Technologies and How To Preserve Group Safety And Security. Speakers at the Summit include Whoopi Goldberg and Dustin Moskovitz, Co-Founder of Facebook.

It took place between December 3 to 5 at the Columbia Law School in Manhattan. For more information visit http://youthmovements.howcast.com/

This was a great example how the latest web technology can be used to reach a global audience. The event was streamed live over the internet. Video streaming sites such as Mogulus and Ustream.com lets you broadcast live video and chatrooms from free which you can also embed on your websites. Rumour has it that youtube will also be implementing live streaming.

What opportunities could this present to organisations?
Will live video streaming become more popular?
Perhaps we’ll see live video coverage in next year’s enterprise week.
