A Strategic Alliance Partner, Sonic Foundry will use its Mediasite webcasting platform to make the UPCEA Annual Conference a hybrid event, live streaming sessions to an online audience and making recorded sessions available for viewing on-demand.
Hundreds of remote attendees from campuses around the country will connect to the 589 in-person meeting attendees. Participants can register online for this hybrid event.
“Partnering with Sonic Foundry allows us to reach more members and help those unable to travel to the Annual Conference,” said Bob Hansen, UPCEA CEO. “A major goal of UPCEA is to help universities by increasing access to educational programs and services. Opening up our conference to an online audience makes it easy for deans, directors and their staff to connect with the programs, and with each other, regardless of their location.”
