ABSTRACT
While it is true that satellite technology has for some time allowed experts that are physically far apart to congregate through their telepresences in--as a rule--one auditorium, nevertheless, the expenditure of effort involved is rarely worth the attention generated by the medium. Therefore by using innovative and appropriately timed satellite technology a multimedia concept with both the character of an "event" and the lasting quality of an "experience" was developed. This concept is based among other things on the complex interconnecting of four experts in four separate halls delivering four lectures (with ensuing discussions) as well as technically speaking on a live television outside broadcast standard including professional presentation and direction. The implementation of the concept was tested and optimised in the course of two information transfer events. Besides confirming the exceptional quality and motivational benefit of the concept the participants' evaluation also underscored the importance of the professional production with its use of specific forms of presentation (such as interviews).
