Webcasting at BCS

ONLY APPLICABLE for Cardiology SpRs

23rd April 2014

BCS Webcaster Invitation Email

The annual BCS Conference 2014 in Manchester is fast approaching and once again
the BCS aim to webcast many of the sessions over the three days. This increasingly
important and heavily accessed online resource could not be possible without support
from UK cardiology trainees, who traditionally volunteer their time at the conference
to record sessions.

Accordingly, we would be grateful for any trainees who are planning to attend the
conference and are willing to become webcasters, to email Adam Brown at
ajdbrown@me.com. Full webcasting training will be provided for those who have not
webcast sessions before. Volunteers will be asked to commit to a half-day session of
webcasting and in return, each webcaster will have their registration fee to the
conference reimbursed, be awarded Faculty status to the conference and receive a
certificate of participation from the BCS.

We look forward to seeing you in Manchester!

Best wishes,
