The majority of marketers plan to increase spending on online, virtual and hybrid events. Yet, most meeting and marketing professionals still employ the “If We Build It, They Will Come” approach to promoting these new meeting formats.

You’ve heard of hybrid events. You know that they can help you expand the reach of your event by including those who simply cannot attend. What should those remote attendees experience? What is the easiest and most reliable way to make that happen?
Of course, hybrid event technology does add some moving parts. What are those? Who manages them? And how do I select a partner I can trust to hide any complexity and just “make it happen?”
One of the best ways to understand hybrid events is to see what others are doing. Luckily, Mediasite Events has hundreds from which to draw. Join Shane Tracy, Director of Event Services, and John Pollard, Event Services Program Director, as they walk through some of the most common types of hybrid events Sonic Foundry has supported and discuss some of the most common decisions you need to make in preparing for those types of events.

What would motivate a small non-profit to buy an enterprise grade webcasting platform? Could they ever expect to see a return on that kind of investment? And why bother with professional-grade, purpose-built hardware, when software is cheaper and easier, right?
Wrong, at least according to the Energy Center of Wisconsin.
They needed to get their energy efficiency message out to a larger audience - without a big budget and without putting their viewers to sleep with a lot of technical data.
Sonic Foundry commissioned Forrester Consulting to examine the total economic impact and potential return on investment (ROI) enterprises can realize by implementing the Mediaiste webcasting platform.
