Aviation Nation 2008 will feature an unprecedented online and mobile interactive platform that will offer air show fans around the world a range of interactive media experiences. The webcast and cell phone experience will be powered by companies such as Cisco, VegasHD, Sun Media Productions, Viewcast, Netbiscuits, Vegas Entertainment Network and G-SNAP!

The show will feature an integrated media experience, with live streaming video, digital signage, a mobile website and an innovative new technology called a “Snapcast” where air show announcers and special air show guests will provide a play by play description of the air show action.

The Snapcast will be available for viewing in a window next to the video broadcast on www.aviationnation.org and will also give fans at the show & at home the opportunity to provide their comments via desktop computers and mobile devices. Air show announcers Gordon Bowman-Jones and Heidi Harris will respond live to questions entered by air show fans around the world. The Snapcast will also be shown on Cisco Digital Signage located at the air show site. These technologies will allow the viewers to engage and interact with Aviation Nation as it happens!
