Project:
This Fortune 100 client wanted to push their Anuual Quality Conference to their operational staff of QA/QC personnel. They wanted to create a Online Event where members of their worldwide organization could participate in workshops and keynotes over a tightly scheduled 2 day period.
This was a extranet application that had to be constantly updated over the course of the 2 day conference to reflect changes in schedules, keynotes, program support hiccups and all the usual trials and tribulations accompanying the production of a Live Event. Because of the sensitivity of some of the content, access to the extranet application must be tightly controlled. Tracking must be in place for a variety of user/usage statistics, (these are QA/QC people after all), with the resulting database to be data-mined to help design next year's event.
Solution:
RealAudio, ASP, MSIE4, Javascript, DHTML, MS Access/SQL

I had the pleasure of working with a excellent team of Information Architects who designed most of the content and scheduled the event programming.

To "push" the event to the worldwide audience we created a "Online Radio Network" using Realaudio's audio streaming technology. This radio programming was broken into 15 and 30 minute segments over a 12 hour "broadcast day", for two days. Each day's programming was then repeated in it's entirety for users in the Pacific Rim and other Pan-Asian countries. We broadcast live for 48 hours straight! Each workshop, keynote, review or programming segment was broadcast live from a studio we built on the client's premises. The audio stream was piped via ISDN to Broadcast.Com's massive T3 servers and from there to over 3000 simultanous users. Each programming segment was accessed seamlessly from a scheduled page that had a indepth writeup and supporting data on the segment. For reasons of accessability, the website itself was multi-hosted by Chino.Com with mirrored servers (website and realaudio) in different geographical locations for redundancy and network balancing.

One of the many challenges with this project was to collect and recreate data sent from a variety of sources within the client's organisation. This data was received in a variety of formats and languages. Some would be on audio tape, some on video, some as HTML, or Powerpoint presentations, Some as text files or MS Word Docs, and some in Spanish, or Dutch, or French and even Portuguese!. All this was then recreated as supporting materials for each radio segment.

The project was highly successful, with over 90% of the expected users online simultanously, and the average stay time for each user was over 6 hours!. This is quite amazing when you consider the time differences and the co-ordination required to push this kind of event.
