Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of

the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by us of
expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer, or controlling person of the company in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, we will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in
the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. </FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></DIV> <DIV ALIGN="center"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2" COLOR="#000000"><B>SIGNATURES </B></FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT

PART II
INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT
Item 3.  Incorporation of Documents by Reference.
ACT Teleconferencing, Inc. (the "company," "we," "us," or "our")
incorporates by reference the following documents filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"):
•
Our annual report on Form 10-K/A, filed April 25, 2002, which contains audited financial statements for our fiscal year ended December 31, 2001, the latest
fiscal year for which such statements have been filed.
•
All our other reports filed pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act") since the end of the fiscal
year ended December 31, 2001.
•
The description of our common stock set forth in our registration statement on Form 8-A, filed with the SEC on March 28, 1994.
•
The description of the rights to purchase our Series B Junior Participating Preferred stock set forth in our registration statement on Form 8-A, filed with the
SEC on December 7, 1999.
All the reports and other documents we subsequently file pursuant to
Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14, or 15(d) of the Exchange Act after the date of this registration statement and before the filing of a post-effective amendment which indicates that all of the shares of common stock offered have been sold or which
deregisters all shares of the common stock then remaining unsold shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference in and a part of this registration statement from the date of filing of the documents.
Any statement contained in a document incorporated, or deemed to be incorporated, by reference in this registration statement shall be
deemed to be modified or superseded for purposes of this registration statement to the extent that a statement contained in this registration statement or incorporated by reference or in any other subsequently filed document that also is or is
deemed to be incorporated by reference modifies or supersedes the statement. Any statement so modified or superseded shall not be deemed, except as so modified or superseded, to constitute a part of this registration statement.
Item 4.  Description of Securities.
Not Applicable.
Item 5.  Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
Not Applicable.
Item 6.  Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
The Colorado
Business Corporation Act permits a corporation organized under the Colorado Business Corporation Act to indemnify its directors, officers, employees, and agents for specified acts. Our articles of incorporation have been prepared to conform to the
Colorado Business Corporation Act.
In general, we may indemnify any officer, director, employee, fiduciary, or
agent against reasonable expenses, fines, penalties, settlements, or judgments arising in connection with a legal proceeding to which such person is a party, if that person's actions were in good faith, were reasonably believed to be in our
best interest, and were not unlawful. Indemnification is mandatory with respect to a director or officer who was wholly successful in defense of a proceeding. In all other cases, indemnification of a director, officer, employee, or agent requires a
determination by an independent
2
decision of our board of directors, by independent legal counsel, or by a vote of the shareholders that the applicable standard of conduct was
met by the person to be indemnified.
The circumstances under which indemnification is granted in connection with
an action brought on our behalf are generally the same as those set forth above; however, with respect to the actions against directors, indemnification is granted only for reasonable expenses actually incurred in connection with the defense or
settlement of the action. In these actions, the person to be indemnified must have acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed was in our best interest, the person must not have been adjudged liable to us, and the person must
not have received an improper personal benefit.
Indemnification may also be granted pursuant to the terms of
agreements, which may be entered into in the future pursuant to a vote of shareholders or directors. In addition, we are authorized to purchase and maintain insurance, which protects our officers and directors against any liabilities, incurred in
connection with their services in their positions, and we may obtain an insurance policy in the future.

Item 9.  Undertakings.
We hereby undertake:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement to: (i) include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the
Securities Act of 1933; (ii) reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a
fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was
registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price
represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement; and (iii) include any material information with respect to the
plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement; provided, however, that paragraphs (1)(i) and (1)(ii) do not apply if the registration statement is
on Form S-3 or S-8, and the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports we file pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are
incorporated by reference in the registration statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining
any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the
initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective
amendment any of the securities being
3
registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of our annual report pursuant to
Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of
such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
Insofar as
indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers, and controlling persons of the company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of
the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by us of
expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer, or controlling person of the company in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, we will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in
the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
SIGNATURES
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it
meets all of the requirements for filing on Form S-8 and has duly caused this registration statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the City of Golden, State of Colorado, on this 17th day of December,
2002.
