Market Access International Recruits Netbriefings to Increase Seminar Participation Through Pay-Per-View

Travel difficulties threatened seminar attendence -netbriefings webcasting solutions puts it back on track

St. Paul, Minnesota - December 5, 2001 - Netbriefings, a full-service webcast technology provider that specializes in secure and large-audience Internet broadcasts, announced that the Market Access International's streaming media webcasts from the Homeland Defense training conferences are now available for viewing. The October 23rd briefing and the October 29th training conference, held in Washington, D.C., addressed critical questions and provided a training conference for industry and government executives and leaders, focusing on agency needs and requirements in the area of Homeland Defense.

The events of September 11th, and those that followed, increased the challenges of doing business for Market Access. Higher travel costs, fear of flying, and scheduling difficulties due to heightened safety measures, presented new and additional challenges to government and industry representatives wishing to attend the conferences. Because the events would be held in a short amount of time, Market Access needed another method to deliver its information in such a way that encouraged and increased participation. They looked towards Netbriefings for assistance in doing so.

"Netbriefings provided professional staff on short notice and prepared our presenters for an Internet broadcast recording. Their responsiveness was outstanding," said Steve Kingsley, Vice President of Market Access.

Archiving the training conferences, for viewing at a later time or date, promoted participation for the Market Access event. As a result, the conferences and all of the speaker presentations and their briefing materials were archived and made available over the Internet, on-demand and by pay-per-view. Those who were unable to attend could now view and participate in the conferences from anywhere, at anytime. "Netbriefings provided Market Access with a turnkey solution and enabled us to reach out to our clients at their PC workstations, at their convenience," said Kingsley.

Market Access is making the Webcast available free to state and local government representatives and at a price significantly reduced from the in-person cost to others wishing to view the event. To view the archived events, visit their website at www.marketaccess.org
