The organizers of Nanotech 2006 conference and TechConnect deployed an online social networking See social networking site. social networking - social network tool open to all attendees from each event. "The system allows users to find potential technology and financial partners, suppliers and collaborators from each event and then connect with one another and explore collaborative business and technology opportunities," said Matthew Laudon, PhD, Executive Director of the Nano Science & Technology Institute (NSTI). "This is a totally new system and we're very encouraged with the pre-conference registration and use. The goal was to provide a tool for these communities to interact before the face-to-face meetings but also provide the online community platform that would allow them to continue throughout the year. The system enables a global, 365 day a year, protected collaborative community environment." NSTI Nanotech 2006 runs from May 7 though the 11th at the Boston Hynes Convention Center The John B.
