I have a dream...

...that in 2007 the majority of vendor briefings I attend will be delivered via rich media communications, including one-way (and maybe even two-way) video, web conferencing tools that enable me to text questions, annotate slides, and easily invite colleagues to join the conference.  I hope that the days of the audio bridge coupled with the PDF or PPT file go the way of the Model T.  This is especially true for vendor briefings that are open to large groups of analysts rather than individual meetings.
