Public Events Page

posted by admin in features
July 18, 2009

If you’re running a conference or any kind of scenario where you’ll be scheduling a number of Live Meetings, the public events page may be very useful.

In short, the public events page can be set up within the Live Meeting conference centre, and allows you to publish details of your Live Meeting (or series of Live Meetings) online. You can create the agenda, and then email all possible participants the web address of your events page, where they can go to sign up for your Event.

This page is also where your guests can download a recording of the meeting, and any associated files such as handouts, shared notes and powerpoint slides.

Quite often, not all participants are able to attend a lecture or talk. With some of the more advanced video conferencing software packages, you can broadcast the events in a real world conference via the web. It’s actually easier (and probably cheaper) to do than you think. The advantages are as follows

  • Non-attendees can view live lectures
  • Attendees and Non-attendees can view recordings
  • You can collect data about online and offline attendance
  • Keep in touch with those who have attended off/online

Software for connecting your conference to the world:

Microsoft Live Meeting

With events pages and attendee registration options, a smart conference organiser would manage an entire conference using this system. Broadcast your meetings, set access privaledges and use features like Q&A to screen questions from the virtual floor.

Cisco contains many of the same features as Live Meeting, and you can use it to set up an event using the Event Centre in much the same way. This allows you to invite up to 3,000 attendees to your conference. And much like Live Meeting you can also  set up Q&A sessions, polls and follow up attendance with emails and surveys.
