Even as the Internet has made it easy for far-flung groups of people to collaborate, sometimes you still need to have a conversation. If your business regularly needs to conduct meetings with people in scattered locations, you'll probably need to set up a conferencing service. These conference calling services allow you to connect people together without investing in expensive equipment. Here are a few important points to remember as you shop for a conferencing service provider:
- Get people together virtually. Sales meetings, quarterly results reports for investors, and organizing multiple locations are all common reasons for a conference call. Also consider conference calling for employees who work from home, remote sales offices, freelancers and other vendors.
- Shop on service and price. Most conferencing services use equipment from the same leading manufacturers, so they are very similar in terms of quality and features.
-
If you and your institution are interested in arranging the
conference, please read the appendices, below, which give
essential information about hosting ISMIR: some approximate
figures for previous conference costs, and a list of
requirements that candidate hosts will need to consider. Also
read the "ISMIR Conference Series Management Guide". which
provides more detailed guidelines on the conference setup and
the responsibilities of the call conference hosting
organization.
