What is a Teleconference?
A teleconference is a live television program delivered direct via satellite to specifically licensed sites, allowing audience participation at locations across the country simultaneously.
Why Teleconference?
Teleconferences are effective because they are:
-
Interactive - Participants can submit questions via phone, fax or email and get answers on-air from the program presenters.
-
Current - Because they are live, programs offer up-to-the-minute information.
-
Cost Effective - The cost of licensing a teleconference, a program in which your entire staff may participate, is usually much less than the cost of sending just one staff member to an in-person conference or seminar.
Where can teleconferences be held?
