Local
Media Conference
Media Conference held by Gothenburg Action for Management of the Environment/Chalmers University
Total delegates: 26
Results:
Negative:
- Unfortunately several delegates left the conference quite early due to the fact that the streaming was not running smoothly. The slides and speakers were not in phase with each other at some times and it kept buffering which made it difficult to follow.
Positive:
- When the streaming became better the sound and picture was of good quality.
- Interested in hosting future media conferences, but suggested using taped material if quality cannot be guaranteed.
- Received all slides beforehand, which were printed out for all delegates present.
- Overall, very interesting conference and experience.
- Used 2 power-point projectors to enhance the size of presentations and speakers.
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.
