Online conferencing
Description
Web conferencing refers to a service that allows conferencing events to be shared with remote locations. An online conference takes place on the Internet. It is an interactive web site, where participants log on and read papers, enter discussions with other delegates and presenters, have live chat, and are able to pose questions and interact with people from all over the world. It has a similar structure to a physical conference, except that the workshops last longer, and discussions are far more extensive and focused.
Non-internet alternatives
A non-internet alternative is 3 way phone calls. The first person to ring the numbers hosts the conversation, and all other people connect through them. There is no limit on the number of people that can be placed in this call. The price of making this conference is greater than a regular phone call. For example, the cost is priced for both phone calls, as well as an extra 50p.
Target audience
The target audience are for business people who want to set up conferences over the internet without meeting up with them. Another target audience is people who are having conferences across the world.
