GRS-S is excited to announce a pilot project running at this year’s IGARSS conference. We are working to support live broadcasting of events through our website. Presentation materials will be digitized and uploaded to accompany the live video feed. We are striving to lay the ground work for a future that allows all members of GRS-S to more effectively learn, interact, and participate in our events around the world using the internet.
The Goals
- To extend the reach of our community to people who cannot attend our events in person
- To encourage greater attendance at future events by highlighting some of the important oral sessions at this year’s IGARSS
- To give our leading researchers additional opportunity to share their knowledge with the greater community
- To utilize technology to increase the quality of our events and presentations by encouraging feedback and interaction from the community
Your Participation
Participation is this project voluntary. We will be broadcasting live from 2 rooms at this year’s IGARSS in Honolulu.
If you are presenting in the Coral I or Coral II Ballroom you may:
- Be broadcast live on the GRS-S website
- Have us upload your presentation files so that users may follow along while watching the broadcast
- Have us record the audio of your presentation for archival purposes and present it on the GRS-S website for users to view and download at a later date (only for presentations given in the Coral II Ballroom).
If you are scheduled to present in the Coral I or Coral II Ballroom and want to include your presentation on the website during the live broadcast, we will need a copy of your powerpoint or pdf no later than 6:00 PM local time (Hawaii-Aleutian Standard Time) on the day before your scheduled presentation time. Files may be uploaded at http://www.grss-ieee.org/igarrs2010. If you have difficulties, or need assistance, please email Justin Endler (one of the volunteers managing the broadcast).
In order for your material to be included in any form on the website we require a simple release form to be signed. The file may be signed in person at the event, or online at http://www.grss-ieee.org/igarss-presenters/
We look forward to the opportunity of extending the IGARSS experience within our community, and to more effectively reach out to others not currently familiar with GRSS or IGARSS. It is your expertise and knowledge that makes our community strong. We appreciate the chance to feature your research, and if you have any questions or concerns please feel free to contact us at info@grss-ieee.org
