Propriety Apps add a whole new level of complexity to the podcast experience. Not only do listeners have to download your app initially, they then need to remember to use it every time they want to listen to a podcast.

That doesn't happen.

They use your app once or twice and then forget about it.

It's similar with videos in a protected portal.

Would you prefer to watch an hour long video in your home office after work or listen to a podcast while you are out and about?

Your audience prefers the podcast!

Logging into a protected webpage is not a good user experience if you want regular consumption of your education.

Whereas most people already understand how a podcast works.

Simple and familiar is always better.

They open their favorite podcast app out of habit, press play, and listen while they’re driving, walking, cooking, working out, or getting things done.

With your ArmchairMedical Conference Podcasts, they can listen inside the podcast apps they already use - like Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Overcast, Pocket Casts, and more.

And your listeners don’t need to learn or sign in to a whole new platform to use it.

It feels familiar to your listener, but gives you the access, tracking, and control you need. Your content stays protected and it's at your audience's fingertips 24/7.

And no matter what phone they have, or what podcast player app they love, we've made it super easy for both you AND your audience. 

Yes.

Our team have filmed medical conferences in Australia, New Zealand, the South Pacific, Asia and the UK for nearly 20 years.

We host over 10,000 video lectures within the ArmchairMedical.tv platform.

We can film your events OR we can work with your existing suppliers and inhouse AV teams to create video or audio only assets.

Generally audio is cheaper to record, however many conferences and events have established suppliers or inhouse teams recording their video. 

We are supplier agnostic and will work in the way that best suits your needs.

Yes.

Our process can easily work with your existing recordings.

Our team of editors can usually remaster recordings so that they have the audio quality as if they were recorded in a professional sound studio.

We work with inhouse AV teams from all over the world to deliver the best quality and most impactful educational assets you and your event deserves.

We do too:)

We like how they look and love to see the PowerPoint slides.

However when we internally tested video podcasts vs audio podcasts with a huge GP audience (50,000+ engagements) the winner by about 40:1 was audio podcasts in terms of education consumption.

The lesson was, no matter how much WE like video, doctors prefer audio only podcasts on their favourite apps. (Usually Apple Podcasts)

 Great Question!

Every conference needs at least one to create their legacy education platform.

However if you want to grow your event then it is worth considering two additional 'specialised' podcast channels.

These two additional channels have different jobs from the main podcast channel and are essential if you want to really grow your event over the next 2-5 years.

Three channels are included in our 10x Conference Growth Plan, and can be included in any of our other offerings.

Excellent. When they supply you with the video files, forward them to us and we will repurpose them into high quality podcasts.

Do we need professional video filming to create a conference podcast?

No. In fact, if your conference budget is tight, you may be better off spending less on filming and more on making your recordings available as private podcasts.

Most in-house AV teams can capture high-quality audio without the expense of a professional camera crew. There are two straightforward options:

Option 1: Audio-only recording

Ask your in-house AV team to record the audio directly from the room's mixing desk. This captures the presenters' microphones and, with some planning, audience questions. 

Option 2: PowerPoint slides plus audio

For a little more production value, ask your AV team to record the presentation slides alongside the audio. This creates a simple slide-and-audio recording without needing cameras, camera operators or video editing.

Both approaches provide the essential educational content: the presenter's expertise, explanations and presentation slides.

Spend your budget where it delivers the most value

Rather than spending thousands on professional video production, consider using the in-house AV resources to capture the sessions and allocating the savings towards creating a professionally produced private conference podcast.

There may also be an opportunity to have an industry sponsor fund the podcast production in exchange for sponsorship recognition and distribution opportunities.

This can give your conference:

• A professionally edited podcast series.

• A convenient way for delegates and other healthcare professionals to access the educational content.

• A new promotional asset to support next year's conference.

• A potential new sponsorship opportunity without increasing the conference's production budget.

The key point: You don't need a television-quality production to create a valuable educational podcast. You need good audio, the presentation slides (if available) and a strategy for getting the content heard.

Armchair Medical Conference Podcasts can help you turn relatively simple in-house recordings into a professionally produced podcast series that sponsors may be willing to fund.
