Introduction of Video Conferencing for use for Officer training,
Advanced Club Meetings, and anything else cool we can think of.
Have any of you used this technology?

I am intrigued with this technology.
I have participated in a Video Conferencing in connecting remote participants.
In that session, there were two offices connected, with about 30 total participants.
Everything from a technology standpoint was smoothly conducted. There were no delays in video or sound.
I am in great anticipation for it to appear at the individual home/office level. The reality is that it is still in development for productive usage. Until then, the most reliable and proven method is still the phone (audio) conference. Even the webinars are still in the developing stages and can have its glitches.
With the advent of skype, many can connect inexpensively on a global scale to hear and participate in a session. Recently, the announcement of skype video will propel me to check it out for personal and commercial uses. Video, more than just sound, still has the focus on how one looks & presents, in addition to the message. This will hold many people back from participating initially, and then there will be those that will "dress up" for the video.

I could see a day when I will present, teach, train, coach and mentor others with the use of video conferencing.
This would be fun for me.
