Webinar: TV Town Hall: Leveraging Multiforms of Technology 

Cyberweek 2015: TV Town Hall: Leveraging Multiforms of Technology from Bryan J Hanson on Vimeo.

Webinar Description:

Public policy disputes often involve a small cross-section of those affected by the dispute’s resolution—only those able to devote excessive amounts of time and other resources to participate in lengthy public hearings. Technology has enabled agencies to grow the audience for those important conversations and involve a broader cross-section of affected stakeholders in resolving the dispute. In this webinar, you’ll learn about how to leverage multiple platforms to build a larger, more diverse audience to help tackle thorny public issues—or even conflicts involving large organizations, corporations, or other institutions.
