Registration is now open for the SURA-ViDe 2006 Digital Video conference. This conference has become a widely-recognized event for learning about development and deployment showcasing the growing promise of digital video technology. This year's conference will take place March 27-30 at the Georgia Tech Hotel and Conference Center in Atlanta, Georgia.

The conference begins Monday evening, March 27, with a reception and the keynote address by Rick Prelinger, founder of the Prelinger Archives and President of the Board of Directors of the Internet Archive.
