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.
