The Miss Real Beauty program exists to embrace beauty in all shapes and sizes, to break down self-limiting beauty stereotypes and inspire women to have the confidence to be comfortable with themselves.

Further more, the Miss Real Beauty program provides a platform for women throughout the UK to further their personal and professional goals and promote their voices in culture, politics and the community. The program is actively seeking to support a number of charities and fund raising activities.

The Open Video Conference brings together creators, entrepreneurs, technologists, policy-makers, hackers, academics, and others to share their insights on how open video enables creative expression and technical innovation.

Conference participants will also examine the challenges that keep online video from becoming a first-class citizen on the web. For one, online video playback is beset by a mess of proprietary formats, license fees, and plugins that segment viewership and complicate self-publishing efforts. Unlike blogs, email, and other staples of the open web—which rely on open standards—most online video content is delivered through proprietary codecs, like Adobe?s popular Flash player.
