MeshTV's interactive hi-res web video coverage gives both attendees and fans everywhere the ability to not just view, but to fully engage with mesh's full lineup of internationally renowned keynote speakers, workshops and behind the scenes action.

Attendees can tune-in to meshTV online virtually anywhere - whether it's on the mesh website, on iTunes and - for the first time ever - on their iPhones using the new mesh iPhone app developed by mDialog.

"meshTV is a great example of how we can transform any event, no matter the size, scale or location to a online hub of connectivity," says Greg Philpott, founder and president of mDialog. "As one of North America's leading Web forums, mesh offers the perfect opportunity to demonstrate how our technology so naturally supports events and conferences in order to take audience engagement to a whole new level." New mesh iPhone app available free for download: ------------------------------------------------ For mesh 2009, mDialog has released a new mesh iPhone app - available free for download from the iPhone app store as of Tuesday, April 7th.
