On Friday 16th at lunchtime we were contacted by the wonderful people from Seminars.ie. Their dilemma was how to get some of their guest speakers into Dublin’s National Concert hall for an event over the web the next morning. Unable to travel with the European airspace lock down. The volcanic ash plume from Iceland had put the event beyond the reach of the keynote speakers involved from the UK and Canada. Travelling to Dublin to give presentations was out of the question. Some 450 people were expected at the event.
Specialists in on the subject of Health and Music, Dr. Daniel Levitin and Prof. Paul Robertson were expected to arrive for the event. The event was described as
Music has always been considered a soothing and healing influence, calming the soul and relieving stress. With the rise in Music Therapy as a paramedical discipline we have come to understand just how useful it can be in the treatment of autism, learning disabilities, dementia, neurological disorders and depression.
With no chance of travelling, the National Concert Hall and Seminars.ie pulled together and worked on a way with us to stream the speakers and their multimedia presentations to an audience. We had less than 16 hours to organise, train and coordinate Professor Paul Robertson and Dr. Daniel Levitan. Here is a 4 minute video of how Dr. Levitan got on.
This is a short amateur video captured by one of the attendees.

The National College of Ireland Business Incubation Centre recorded an historic first this week as journalist Mark Little conducted a live webcast interview with incubation centres from Limerick Institute of Technology and the Tipperary Institute, using online meeting room technology. The session was initiated by Bernard Goldbach of the Tipperary Institute.
Working with the OPEN COFFEE movement. Linking a number of locations is simple with online meeting rooms. In this remote recording we have a live interview being conducted and broadcast to a number of other locations. You will see an additional video presentation streamed into the video conference during the interview. Welcome to Mark Little and Calom Technologies to open coffee Limerick, obviously transmission was enabled over the web. A mac with USB webcam was used in Dublin on the @NCIRL network, we are grateful for this bandwidth. Also to thank the other individuals that took part both onsite and through twitter. @skehillr @pinpoints @marklittlenews @LOCC @schregardus @topgold @tippinst @NCIRL @keithdkennedy and of course @davidconde

Starting at only €49 our new web seminar technology is affordable for every professional and company. Seminar is a “one to many” technology that allows you to broadcast your presentation to your guests. The unique selling points are without question the fact that there is absolutely nothing to install for 98% of users by virtue of the fact that we are using the power of flash. Another unique selling point is bandwidth utilisation, you can run your seminar on broadband connections and broadcast using 100 to 200 kbps. If you turn your video off you can stream using voice at approx. 24 kbps. So even if your broadband connection isn’t great you can still get a great result. You can also upgrade your licence to 20, 50 and 100 guests. We can go way beyond that too, ideal for training of very large groups. Check our video out or run your mouse over the image included in this post. You can also contact us if you would like a demo or have any additional questions. http://www.onlinemeetingrooms.com/index.php/webinar/
