You need someone who is knowledgeable about how to do this in order to make this happen. Livestream (www.livestream.com) is a mechanism which can be used to do it. I attended a conference via Livestream recently. However, there can be problems in utilizing it. The conference I "attended" used that conference as a "test" conference (i.e., there was no fee to attend it through the web). There were a few problems when we did not receive sound or occasions where we lacked both sound and picture. However, the conference was still worthwhile and educational and I hope that the sponsors learned enough about the "test" so that they can improve transmission in the future. Livestream may have information about how to do it if you want to experiment.

For those of us who are many miles away, but faithful followers of this web site, it would be most helpful (and a way to increase LVA.LIB.VA revenue if you recorded these presentations and made them available in either video or transcript form to those of us who cannot realistically attend in person.
Please note: SECOND request this year!
