Remote Audiences
TConsult’s Creative Director, Kirsty McGill, gave a presentation at the first Transliteracy conference, which was held in Leicester at the brand new Phoenix Arts Centre on Tuesday 9th February. Kirsty presented a paper describing our work reaching remote conference audiences and our efforts to develop best practice in the field. Here is our recording of Kirsty’s talk, introduced by the event chair Professor Sue Thomas….
The event involved researchers and practitioners from a wide range of disciplines, who came together to discuss the concept and application of transliteracy, which the working definition defines as: the ability to read, write and interact across a range of platforms, tools and media from signing and orality through handwriting, print, TV, radio and film, to digital social networks. As Kirsty explains in her presentation, reaching a remote audience effectively involves a keen awareness of transliteracy and accessibility if you are to create a suite of resources that allows online delegates to get value from attending online.
We are continuing to develop our online conference spaces so we can offer conference organisers an innovative package to help them reach a wider audience and increase revenue. If you are interested in discussing the ideas raised in this presentation to see how we could help you with your event, please contact us or read more about our event amplification services.
