Yesterday Stream UK streamed British hypnotist Chris Hughes live weight loss webcast for World Hypnotism Day. It was also the first webcast to help people lose weight.

Today at 6.30pm Stream UK will be encoding a live feed for the webcast of Sarah Phillips’ Single Launch. Sarah Phillips’ ‘Say it’s Possible’ music single is being launched to raise money for cervical cancer research.
The single aims to raise funds for Debbie Fund, a charity set up in memory of Sarah’s mum Debbie, who died of Cervical Cancer on 11th February 2010.
During the progression of Debbie’s disease, it became apparent that there was no dedicated research into a drug treatment specifically for Cervical Cancer, and so, of the numerous friends whom Debbie had, a group of us have come together with her family to raise sufficient funds to ensure that the necessary research can be carried out by a team of scientists at University College London.
So far, Debbie Fund has raised just under £460,000 in the form of cash received and pledges.
Sarah hopes to raise even more through her EP Say it’s Possible.

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.
