Program At-a-Glance

This year we amped up the Mediasite education, planned more collaborative, participant-driven sessions and included plenty of opportunities for you to ask your most pressing questions.

Direct from Sonic Foundry experts, this year's training gives novice and advanced users, as well as developers, the technical expertise to succeed. You'll also find more collaborative discussion sessions to share your experiences, learn from peers and help steer the agenda in real-time. How’s that for harnessing the power of authentic learning? 

At Unleash the possibilities to learn practical and proven Mediasite best practices and connect with like-minded video pioneers are endless.

You-Pick Mediasite Training

We’re providing plenty of opportunities to hone your skills, learn from the best and be your own expert with Sonic Foundry-led training sessions. Previously held as pre-conference workshops, Mediasite training is now incorporated into the three-day program – letting you build a customized education agenda to fit your needs. New and novice Mediasite users will find comprehensive tutorials, while seasoned Mediasite users dive deeper in advanced sessions. Plus, the new Developer’s Corner lets more advanced users explore Mediasite’s APIs, share code ideas and connect with other developers.

Show & Share 

Our new Show & Share format gives attendees and presenters the opportunity to share and discuss unique Mediasite uses, best practices or how-tos in a more casual, one-on-one or small group environment. Using a poster-style room layout, speakers share their expertise with brief informal presentations and interactive materials, videos and photos.

Mediasite in Action

Learn from peers how to take your Mediasite implementation to the next level. During Mediasite in Action sessions, speakers readily share proven solutions and practical advice gleaned from their successful implementations. You’ll leave with real-life examples and plenty of ideas to evolve your own Mediasite initiatives when you return home.

Post-it Discussions

Year after year you tell us that some of the best ideas you get at UNLEASH are through impromptu discussions with others. Come to Madison armed with your “I want to learn about…” wish list to share on the post-it walls. Or post your areas of expertise and experience. We’ll help you find each other and offer opportunities and spaces for those valuable discussions.
