The first-ever Distance Teaching & Learning (DT&L) virtual conference begins today, and we’re excited to have our Mediasite Events team making that a reality. Thanks to our complete virtual event solution, The University of Wisconsin-Madison Continuing Studies conference is thriving in a fully online environment – virtual registration numbers tripled and conference costs were cut in half.
Mediasite Events is streaming 100+ sessions and e-posters to the nearly 900 educators registered, and it also created a virtual expo hall with sponsors, interactive activities and more.
The conference typically has a smaller online offering with Mediasite Events for those who couldn’t attend in person, and this year in the face of COVID-19 organizers pivoted quickly.
“We are thankful that we’ve teamed up with Mediasite Events once again to offer a virtual participation option, because this is the largest virtual conference in our history. We’ve significantly expanded our registration from years’ past and cut our event costs in half by saving on major big-ticket items like the venue and dining,” said Wendy Fritz, Director, Learning Design, Development & Innovation, UW-Madison Division of Continuing Studies.

We’re also proud to be a platinum sponsor, speaking and exhibiting at the event. If you’re attending, be sure to catch the two sessions we put together to help you strategize for the fall semester – whether it’s 100 percent virtual, a social-distanced version of face-to-face or, most likely, a hybrid approach.
