Over the last 3 days Stream UK has worked with Rich Media Agency to deliver the Maudsley Annual Review Conference. The Institute of Psychiatry were due to present a new educational initiative which highlights and synthesizes key advances in psychiatry and will serve as an annual landmark of progress in the field.
Stream UK were employed to encode the footage of the five symposiums and provide live slide synching to deliver the sessions with Stream Connect, Stream UK’s webcasting tool. However, due to the closure of UK airspace as a result of the ash cloud from Iceland’s volcano, a number of the key speakers were unable to make it to the Kings College location.
Our Stream UK team came quickly to the rescue providing short tutorials on how to present using a webcam and our webcasting tool. This allowed those speakers that were unable to travel to present from various locations around the globe allowing the conference to go ahead as planned.

On April 9-10 Cambridge Judge Business School used Stream UK to stream the Institute of Economic Thinking (INET) conference live from Kings College.
More than 150 academic, business and government policy thought leaders from around the world convened at Kings College in Cambridge to explore the reasons why prevailing economic theory failed to predict the recent financial and economic crisis.
Due to the exclusivity of invitations to the session rooms themselves, Judge Business School created several auditoriums, including a state-of-the-art lecture theatre, to allow a similar experience to others.
At short notice, Stream UK’s team were responsible for encoding a live video feed and delivering it at a quality high enough for audiences to watch on a plasma screen. Feedback from all parties was fantastic.
“You’re guys were great. Most helpful throughout the event. The quality of the webcast was high. They kept in contact with us throughout and it went very smoothly” Dave Amann, Judge Business School.
We look forward to more events like it.

Using Stream UK’s production team to film, mix and encode the footage – the session was delivered with the new release of Stream Connect, Stream UK’s webcasting tool. Stream Connect has been reviewed as “a simplified yet powerful interactive streaming platform that could be managed by the presenter” (Tim Siglin, Streaming Media Magazine) and as it continues to develop, the tool is allowing companies to provide professional level webcast experiences without relying on outside experts.
A key part of the S4S sessions is the ability of the live audience to interact with experts, asking questions and offering feedback. Stream Connect’s interactive options allow this to be extended to web-viewers worldwide. There was constant activity in the online chat room, and future events could use the voting and moderator announcements. Over the next year, Stream UK will continue to deliver production services, encoding, hosting and streaming services, as the School grows its online presence.
