Imagine being able to hold meetings with people around the world at a moment's notice without having to leave your office. A web conferencing solution provides a central online meeting place for people to get together for meetings regardless of location. With a simple click of the mouse, you can present PowerPoint slides, run a software demonstration, or even hold brainstorming sessions using a whiteboard.
Web conferencing solution helps slash hefty travel and time costs associated with face-to-face meetings. Microsoft icon Bill Gates recently remarked that web conferencing stands to save his company over $40 million in travel costs alone in 2005.
The 14th Annual Theodore D. Veru Honors Symposium and Banquet was held March 31, 2008 @ 5:00pm in Wilde Auditorium and later, the 1877 Club. This signature event in the extracurricular calendar of the Barney Business School was made available by the financial generosity of Mr. Peter Veru. Peter is an alumnus of the business school, Class of 1985, and a member of the Board of Regents of the University of Hartford.
The Symposium in its 14th iteration featured a presentation of Ms. Vivian Pfeiffer, a senior vice president and regional director of the historic auction house Christie's, which positions itself as a "showcase for the unique and the beautiful".
Ms. Pfeiffer was introduced in the web cast of the proceedings by Mr. Veru from the Campus of George Washington University. Later the symposium will be accessible from the Barney School website.
