Without resting on their increasing bookings schedule, Hackle Brooke Conference Centre has ensured the most up-to-date video conferencing technology is installed to meet client requirements.
Now that fibre optics are in place at Hackle Brooke – the fast video conferencing connectivity is equally assured.
The client benefits of the latest video-conferencing techniques at Hackle Brooke are substantial:
- five additional venues can link into the client’s gathering – free-of-charge;
- multiple participants on various platforms for Window based PC, Tablets and Apple Mac;
- virtual ‘drop’ free meetings;
- No fancy VC facilities are needed for those participating from a distance. Merely a reasonable PC/laptop with high speed connectivity and even reasonable quality on a cell phone;
- The system used is known as Vidyo who boast amongst their corporate clients CERN based in Geneva Switzerland. (CSIR is the equivalent in South Africa of CERN)
The possibilities are great indeed that this latest video-conferencing technology could alter the manner in which South Africa considers people-gatherings for all long-range delegates within the nation itself. Savings on travel, ground arrangements, accommodation not to mention the time factor could prove of value going forward.
It is highly unlikely the amount of MICE undertakings will decrease as the human on-site inter-action will remain paramount. Yet for the well-designed MICE programme whether training course, think-tank or brain-storm session together with the inclusion of an interactive finger-touch white smart board – exploring Hackle Brooke’s latest developments is a ‘must’.
