Dear All,
While we're hoping to see as many of you in Galway this Saturday for
our annual information and technology day, we are also aware that for
any number of reasons it may not be possible for you to attend.
I am therefore delighted to be able to tell you that for the first
time ever Vics will broadcast the day's proceedings live on the
internet.
Not only will you be able to attend the open day virtually, but you
will be able to interact with us via twitter and msn and put questions
to the presenters, just as if you were in the room.
Here's a few instructions on how to make sure you're in attendance
virtually on Saturday.
1. To have the audio stream play on your computer, open your media
player of choice and enter the following URL.
http://live.vicsireland.org:8000/openday.mp3
Note that doing this from within your web browser should also open
your default media player. Note also that the stream wont' be live
until just before 11 on Saturday, so if you access this link before
then, you'll most likely get an error message.
2. If you use twitter, then why not follow vicsireland, not just for
this event, but to keep up with the latest news from Vics. During the
open day we'll be taking your questions and comments via twitter.
3. You can also interact with us on Saturday via msn. Simply add
vicsireland@xxxxxxxxx to your msn contacts and you can chat with us in
real-time during the event. If you are using the msn option, it would
be helpful if you could add vicsireland@xxxxxxxxx to your msn contacts
in advance of Saturday's event so that we have you on line in good
time for the start of the presentations.
I hope that those of you who can't travel this weekend might be able
to join us virtually and I look forward to seeing you on line on
Saturday.
Regards,
Stuart.
