World Economic Forum at your demand

Email This Entry

Posted by Nicole Simon

There are a lot of conferences we cannot attend, due to different reasons. So podcasting those sessions, be it video and or audio, is a great idea to spread the ideas and spirit of an event. You still will need to attend to make those contacts, but sometimes there is no way you can attend, even if you would try.

Like for example the World Economic Forum in Davos. But it seems as if they want to make sure that everybody can be part of this, at least getting a very direct coverage of their annual event:

Broadcasting, Podcasting, Webcasting and Blogging at the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting 2006 in Davos:The World Economic Forum announced ambitious plans today to share the proceedings of the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting 2006 in Davos with as wide a public as possible. Held under the theme of The Creative Imperative, the Meeting will again be broadcast, webcast and, for the first time this year, many sessions will also be "podcast". Additionally, all participants will be asked to take part in the Forum’s blog.
[..]
"Davos is a small place, and the Conference Centre is even smaller. By broadcasting, webcasting, podcasting and encouraging blogging by all participants, we hope to share the spirit of Davos with as many people as possible. As every year, every single session will be open to more than 200 journalists from around the world," said Mark Adams, Director, Head of Communications.
Until now, I only followed this forum through normal press coverage, but now I might be interested in listening into some of those.

You can read the Forum blog; at the moment they only speak of "downloading from a website" and use the word podcast in quotes, but I am hoping for a real podcast from the sessions.
