All Hands Meeting Webcasts

TownHall Business Meetings are often called All Hands meetings or Panel forums. We produce Townhall Meeting Webcasts from a variety of locations. Large conference rooms, corporate cafeterias, hotel conference centers and ballrooms. The names “All-Hands” or “Townhall” meeting are used interchangeably. A Townhall meeting typically includes more Q&A than an All-Hands meeting where a single key topic, often of a financial nature, is discussed.

Point to Point Webcasting

Our superior video and web-based process offers the option of Point-to-Point webcasting with screen-sharing with presenters at multiple locations. If you can’t organize or don’t wish to have a central location for the presenters, Point to Point webcasting works very well. A moderator can hand off control to hosts at the various locations. Questions and responses are moderated. Participants in various locations can ask questions of the presenters and interact with each other . The moderator leads the webcast from location to location virtually, managing the participation and then managing a summary at the end. Everyone sees what’s happening in all locations on one screen.
