Whats the difference between Anytime Conferencing and a professionally produced audio conference?
An Anytime Audio Conference (also known as “reservationless” conferencing) call is a great tool for smaller, on the fly collaborations where you want several people to be able to speak to one another. In a professionally produced audio conference, you want to create an environment where the conference is facilitated by a professional moderator to enable you to optimally deliver your message to your audience. It is imperative that attendees are in “listen only” mode unless pulled out by the moderator for Q & A–this eliminates any unwanted background noise to avoid distractions. The technology needed to produce these events is much more sophisticated and entirely different from what’s used to run basic audio conferences. Think of event calls like a newsroom production and basic audio calls like a small meeting room for a few people to have a conversation.
