CIVITAS II Information Day
19 June 2003
Local Media Conference

Media Conference held by Stockholm County Association of Local Authorities

Proceedings of main event and video-recordings

Total delegates: 15

Results:

Negative:

• Were unable to download Real One Player and had to use Windows Media Player which they considered not as good.
• Some slides were not in phase with the speakers during some parts.

Positive:

• Very positive and no major technical problems.
• Received all presentations beforehand and used 2 projectors to increase size. This also made it easier to combine the appropriate slides with the speaker.
• Very well organised and they felt that they received all information as if they were present in Brussels.
• Considering hosting a Civitas conference in August using taped material.

Advice from ManagEnergy:

• The organisers informed ManagEnergy of their intention to hold this event. This meant that they could obtain the slides and advice in advance.
• Some of the problems would have been avoided if the RealPlayer versions of the files where used. We recommend that organisers of media-conferences download and test the players on their computer systems in advance.
