Building on the success of the previous 2002 Global Information Village Plaza (2002), this new edition of the Global Information Village Plaza maintains its successful interactive format (aimed at giving ASIS&T members an opportunity to express their personal views about the challenges and opportunities that the so called "information society" represents in their personal and professional lives) and adds a new multimedia dimension. New features include an edited video segment showcasing individuals and communities from around the world and the ways in which they frame the debate; another feature is the international contest for Best Graphic Art piece related to the overarching topic of the Global Information Village Plaza.
