55th Sally Letson Symposium
Date: September 19-21, 2024
Organizer: Canadian Ophthalmological Society
Services Provided: Web development and video-on-demand hosting
The 55th Sally Letson Symposium, focusing on pediatric ophthalmology, brought together experts for lectures, Q&A sessions, and discussions. A separate audio-visual company handled the event’s live production and recording, while CollaborateVideo provided web development and video-on-demand hosting services.
Post-event, it was essential to make the recorded sessions accessible to a wider audience. Most organizations cannot host video-on-demand content since it requires web and streaming servers. CollaborateVideo ensured video hosting capability and the capacity to host a library of recordings from previous years. CollaborateVideo segmented all recorded content from the event, creating a video library accessible via customized web pages. Each page featured the presenter’s name, photo, title, and Q&A segments, providing a comprehensive learning experience. The solution offers 24/7 access for registered users, ensuring the material is available for continued learning.

Custom Web Pages

Easy Access
Ophthalmologists and other physicians can access and view content anytime, enhancing learning flexibility and each symposium’s impact.
Long-Term Value
Initially a one-time project for the specific event, the success led to the client extending the service, and building a library from past events.
