2009 will be the fifth in the series of the Canadian Healthcare Safety Symposia to be webcast live. Organizations are encouraged to participate in the webcast, thus allowing frontline and other staff to participate in the important learning that will take place at the Symposium.

Webcasting has grown from nine sites in 2005 to 50 sites in 2009. Many of these sites organized local "conferences" where people in their organization signed-up for the webcast, met in a common room, observed the sessions together, and engaged in discussion during break and meal times. There are more "Tips for hosting a webcast" at the bottom of this page.

Webcast Schedule-at-a-Glance

The webcast will run for three days, starting on Thursday, October 22 and concluding on Saturday, October 24. For those sites joining us in the western provinces, the webcast will be archived shortly after presentations are completed. These sites will be able to join the live webcast during the morning break or at lunch and return to view the sessions missed at the end of the day.

Please note: Program times are subject to change at any time.

Tips for Hosting the Webcast

What follows is a brief collection of tips that have been gathered over the past years:

• Designate a "local liaison" who will be responsible for organizing the logistical needs of the site.
• Be aware that the sessions are scheduled with consideration of the local time zone (i.e. The lunch break in Winnipeg could be one, two or even three hours ahead or after your normally scheduled meal times).
• Be sure to test the system you are going to use for the live webcast and test it more than once.
• Have a contingency plan in case a computer doesn't cooperate or in case of other unforeseen circumstances.
• Gather several people from your organization to view the webcast together. Networking and discussion continue to be important themes of the Halifax Symposia.
• Refresh your viewer at each break to ensure that you don't overfill your browser's cache.
