Shindig is a patented technology platform for large scale online events. In a Shindig event, all participants can use webcams to see each other in a shared space. Featured presenters can give a talk, be interviewed, share a multimedia presentation, give a live performance, teach a course, and much more to a live online audience of thousands. Selected audience members can be brought up to share the stage and directly interact with hosts, "face-to-face", before the entire group. Meanwhile, audience members can move freely in and out of private video chat conversations with one another all without disturbing the other members of the audience. Its all the dynamics of an inperson event at internet scale. Early adopters who have already utilized Shindig for their own online events include The Economist, TED, Bill Gates, Forbes, The Atlantic, The Street.com, LeanIn.org, and a host of other prominent individuals and institutions. Shindig is leading the next generation of online engagement.
