Conference on Technology in Collegiate Mathematics and turned to
Mediasite Events
- 600 people attend onsite, and those unable to meet in person
could buy a virtual pass and access the videos on-demand for
several months
- Conference registration and ecommerce provided by Mediasite
Events
“The biggest need we had was a platform that would support the
bandwidth needed for streaming an event of our size and a video
library of content we could promote after the event. It’s been
fantastic to have all the content built into our website. It’s been
synonymous with our website design – really seamless and easy to
navigate,” said Janna Dinolfo, Manager, Event Programs, K20 Virtual
at Pearson. Ideas with Impact

software company client

“Mediasite Events gave people the flexibility to transcend
physical space considerations, and it allowed the company to
segment its market as far as how it was offering the event –
in-person or online. Had I not had Mediasite Events with me on this
project, it would have been a much more stressful and disjointed
experience,” said Karen DeTemple, Founder, Ideas with Impact.
