UPDATE: The webcast videos & seminar presentation slides are now available. See the end of this post.
The Monday, 2nd June seminar on quantitative research in virtual economies will be available as a webcast. We’ll also make the videos available afterwards. The programme is available here. Note that we’re starting 9:45 AM Finnish time, which is GMT + 3 during the summer. Visit this site to figure out the correct time.

The *a.* files contain the morning session, and the *b.* files the afternoon session. And yes, I’m aware the camera is lousy and the person speaking is not visible all the time.

It seems to be giving an “invalid ID” for the conference ID. I wanted to watch the presentations while I’m at work, but I guess I’ll just wait for the post-show videos. I hope everything’s going smoothly over there!
Added the webcast videos & slides. The remaining slides will be made available asap.
Btw, chrisarmstrong, sorry to hear you weren’t able to view the webcast. For us it seemed that it was running ok – or as smoothly as possible with the equipment we had available anyway.. I hope it was available to someone else also.
