How can I access the live program?
Via the Internet: We will be streaming our broadcast online at www.biztechday.com. It will be available free to anyone who has internet access. One drawback is the lower resolution associated with online streaming. Accessing the live program via the internet is not appropriate for larger public events that depend on large-screen projection. For smaller public or private events, you could project the image against a wall or set up several computers where people can watch the program.
