Broadcast - 2012 Guild Conference and AGM

For the first time ever, the Guild plans to broadcast the Guild AGM and Conference live via our internet channel at http://www.livestream.com/onename.

This is a new venture for the Guild, and an exciting development for all Guild members unable to attend in person. Bob Cumberbatch will be using a laptop and a dedicated webcam to broadcast the event, to give members who cannot attend the Conference a sense of what a Guild Conference is like.

You do not need any special equipment, software, accounts with Google+ or Livestream, or any special expertise to watch the broadcast. All you need to do is to point your browser to the "Livestream" URL (http://www.livestream.com/onename). Be aware that since this is a free service, the Livestream URL will initially present you with a minute or so of advertising - just wait until this finishes, and you will be able to watch the AGM and the Conference presentations as they happen.

The broadcast schedule is given below. Please note that all times are in BST (British Summer Time: GMT + 1 hour). For your own time zone relative to this, see http://www.worldtimezone.com/index24.php.
