TEDxToronto Webcast Wrap-Up (Our coolest success story yet!)
What an incredible event… Over 1000 people joined us for the live webcast of TEDxToronto, sponsored by ING DIRECT Canada – some from their homes and workplaces, others viewing at one of the 13 webcast satellite sites across Canada (including one at our home in the Knowledge Media Design Institute). We’re just delighted we could be a part of it.

We received a lot of great feedback yesterday regarding the webcast production quality, consistency in the streaming video delivery, and the look of our soon-to-be new Flash templates. The whole team is still beaming about it here at the office!
A huge thanks to Tyler Turnbull, Paul Crowe, and the rest of the TEDxTO committee for letting us take part in this incredible, inspiring first TEDx event in Toronto. Tyler and Paul gave us an amazing production team to work with. We’re indebted to Venture Communications for ensuring our webcast needs were accommodated, and the Videoscope production crew for giving us the best sound and camera switching a webcast audience could ask for.
For those who were inquiring as to how we managed to deliver the webcast stream consistently throughout the day, stay tuned for a “behind the scenes” blog post soon!
