events Updated 8/10/2006

World Wide Events is about delivering customers targeted event information. The following control is the first in a series of controls that attempts to create a more personalized customer experience. The idea is to enhance search and discoverability of content by implicitly understanding the desires of the consumer. Users can query five event types:

  • Onsite Event
  • Webcast - Live
  • Webcast - On-Demand
  • Live Meeting
  • Live Meeting - On-Demand

Users can also refine their locale settings. New user interface characteristics are being explored to enhance navigation in a clean and efficient manner. Items under future consideration include geo-targeted events information, profile based event discovery, and calendar UI concepts.

Help us build a better experience. In the upcoming weeks, we will add features and develop enhancements based on consumer feedback. Send us comments through our blog.
