International congress on Sustainable Development webcasted by Klewel

May 18th, 2012 No comments

The WBCSD (World Business Council for Sustainable Development) is a CEO-led organization of forward-thinking companies that galvanizes the global business community to create a sustainable future for business, society and the environment. They had their last meeting in Montreux, webcasted by Klewel, in preparation of the Rio+20 meeting in a month. A new president was elected at their November 2011 meeting, Peter Bakker, former CEO of the transport giant TNT. He then stepped down and left the TNT group per June 1, 2011. He was the UN’s WFP Ambassador Against Hunger in 2011. He is also the Chairman of War Child Netherlands.

Together with its members, the council applies its respected thought leadership and effective advocacy to generate constructive solutions and take shared action.

The WBCSD was founded on the eve of the 1992 Rio Earth Summit to ensure the business voice was heard at the forum. It was created by Swiss entrepreneur and philanthropist Stephan Schmidheiny who believed that business had an inescapable role to play in sustainable development: at the same time as making significant contributions to the creation of a sustainable society, it is in the interest of business, and its bottom line, to do so.

The WBCSD will act as the representative of progressive business at Rio+20, highlighting the advances it has made towards sustainability. By engaging with key stakeholders the WBCSD will explore the roles and responsibilities of business and others in moving towards a sustainable world.

Klewel is official webcasting partner of the CICG International Congress Centre Geneva

May 18th, 2012 No comments

Klewel has signed a partnership with the CICG International Congress Centre Geneva to ensure congress webcasting services.

The International Conference Centre of Geneva (ICCG) is conveniently located near the International Airport and major highways, the railway station, the international organizations, Lake Geneva and the historic old town. Your congress, seminar or exhibition can be hosted with optimum convenience and comfort in two distinctive conference centres. The CICG and CCV provide rooms with seating from 20 to 2200 places. They are ideally located just off the Place des nations (UN) and within easy reach of the principal international organizations and diplomatic representations in Geneva.

Videos from conferences, seminars, and talks have become a standard way to ensure that even those who can’t attend an event are able to at least get access to the presentations after the fact. However, video recordings from conferences are often somewhat sub-par and even the best videographers can have a hard time capturing both the speakers and their slides. Klewel, a Swiss startup, has developed an innovative system to replay videos and slides.

Geneva is the smallest of the world’s major cities. It is a world apart, with something for everyone. Distinguished by its unique geographical position in the heart of Europe, state-of-the-art technology, high-quality services, prestige and ranking as a world-class city, coupled with the advantages of a small town, Geneva is the ideal venue for your next event. Some call it the “world’s smallest metropolis”, others, the “peace capital”. Whatever image it brings to mind, Geneva has always been a popular destination. Better known throughout the world as the United Nations’ European headquarters and the head office of the International Committee of the Red Cross, our city draws thousands of people each year to events such as conferences, conventions and meetings.

ACM CHI 2012 conference webcast, powered by Klewel

May 11th, 2012 No comments

This week in Austin Texas USA took place the 2012 ACM CHI conference. Klewel is proud to be the webcasting partner of SIG (special interest group) CHI (computer human interaction). The presentations are available through the ACM Digital Library for ACM members only. The past 5 annual conferences have been webcasted by Klewel. The ACM SIGCHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems is the premier international conference on human-computer interaction. CHI 2012 focuses on the centrality of experience from the models, theories and practical insights we need to understand and design for user experience to experiencing innovation through hands-on interactivity. The conference gathered 2555 attendees. Two keynote speakers from YouTube and MIT Media Lab presented their work.

Featuring over 900 works, the CHI conference is the premier worldwide forum for the exchange of information on all aspects of human-computer interaction. Typically the works presented address the concerns of design, engineering, management and user experience professionals. This year’s conference also features works that focus on: Digital Arts, Games and Entertainment, Human-Computer Interaction for Kids, Health and Sustainability. After two days of intimate pre-conference workshops, the main conference includes panel discussions, courses that provide leading-edge HCI knowledge, paper sessions, case studies, works-in-progress, student competitions (involving design, research and games), interactive demonstrations, special interest groups, and a Tuesday evening video night (popcorn included).

InEvent – Accessing Dynamic Networked Multimedia Events

May 9th, 2012 No comments

Started in November 2011, Klewel is part of a 3-year European-funded research project named inEvent. The main goal of inEvent is to develop new tools for working with recorded meetings, videoconferences, and lectures.

Meetings

Video-conferences

Lectures

The project involves 6 partners: 3 industrial ones and 3 non-profit research institutes:

In the first phase of this project, we are currently investigating user scenarios, user requirements and anticipating new ways of interacting with recorded meetings, video-conferences and lectures.

We are looking for two organizations that:

  • meet at least once a year,
  • cannot always get together but need to communicate,
  • would not mind having their meetings recorded and accessed by our automatic research tools.

For the right groups, this is a unique opportunity to communicate better, both in meetings and to the wider public.

To find out if your organization could benefit from working with us, have a look at this document, and do not hesitate to contact us.
