Any chance of this being recorded? Perhaps pay-per-view?

It is my understanding that there are currently no plans to video tape this seminar and that doing so would require organization and approval not undertaken by the StFYC. I'm afraid it will be strictly a live seminar.

Paul, what do you see as the main impediments from making these sometimes very unique and valuable training experiences available broadly .. and would it be feasible to remove those barriers?

In today's day and age, with basically free video streaming to the 4 corners and an HD video camera in everyone's pocket .. seems to me video-based training seminars should be much more available.

In this case, it's not the technology. It of course varies with each event, but I have personally seen a couple issues. One is that the presenter is not prepared to broadcast their discussion. If you intend to video tape, I think you need to give the presenter a lot of advance notice. Second, I think there tends to be a bureaucratic resistance to preserving and broadcasting rules seminars. I don't have an explanation other than decisions by committee allow for change very slowly.

There is also a tendency to eat our own. There is a portion of our audience intent on proving how smart they are who will mercilessly attack any perceived mistake. Most can defend their position in a live presentation, but do not wish to do so via other media to a much larger audience. And most know their subject well enough, but don't have a well rehearsed presentation. So this fear of making a mistake preserved on video tape creates a lot of resistance for people who are for the most part volunteering to help others learn. And unfortunately I don't think the audience is going to change.

So this fear of making a mistake .. creates a lot of resistance for people ...

Finally! .. an area of expertise in which I can help others! LOL - Ang
