Group Webcast Viewing Guidelines
Gathering a Group
You may find that participation in the webcast with a group deepens and enriches your experience. Group discussion can broaden your understanding of the topic by making it relevant to your own life and community. So here are a few tools to help you gather a group to watch the webcast with you.
Inviting People:
Whether you have an existing group or would like to organize a gathering of friends, family or colleagues, you can download the webcast publicity flyer. Distribute the flyer to people you know or post in your neighborhood. The best way to encourage people to participate is to use the flyer in conjunction with telling them about the event yourself. All the information you need to talk about the conference is on this website.
Viewing in A Group:
You will need a room large enough to accommodate your group comfortably, especially for a long webcast.
You may also like to organize refreshments.
You will need a screen and sound system sufficient to accommodate your group. For most small groups a computer monitor/screen and sound is perfectly adequate. But for larger groups you might like to consider a projector and speakers.
Viewing Flexibility:
Your group members may find it difficult to set aside time to watch the conference live. Again, not a problem. You can view the webcast from the CAC website for up to 30 days after the event. When you watch it after it has been broadcast, you can pause and fast forward so that you group will be able to watch in more than one sitting. However, viewing it this way means you cannot submit questions to the presenters.
