Venue-based conferences are faced with huge challenges this year. Experts suggest that world events and economic realities have caused a significant drop in registrations for conferences and trade-shows. A LearningTimes Online Conference, running concurrently with a live event, will greatly expand the overall audience. This cost effective approach capitalizes on the work being done for the live event, while creating a very rich and unique experience for the online attendees.

With the hybrid approach, organizers offer a web-based subset of events planned for the live conference. LearningTimes on-site staff produce interactive webcasts of the keynotes, conference sessions, and special events just for the Internet audience. Presenters provide a second session dedicated to the online attendees, or a moderator may represent the web audience within the face-to-face live sessions.


The LearningTimes booth becomes the hub of activity designed to link both audiences through the use of “online kiosks” for live attendees to participate in discussion boards, instant messaging, and daily updates. LearningTimes also produces very popular “open mic” webcasts from the show floor, connecting live attendees with the web audience.
