Noteworthy Incident At IWMW 2005
The IWMW 2005 event was the first time a WiFi network was available for use by the participants. As described in a paper on Using Networked Technologies To Support Conference this was an early example of an Amplified conference with the provision of a number of networked technologies being used to support the event. The 7 July 2005 London bombings took place midway through the event. Participants who were making use of the network were first alerted to the news on the event's IRC channel, and a record of the discussions when the participants first became aware of the significance of this news is available.
