A new TV show is coming to ADI 2011

At this year's ADI International Conference we will be offering organisations a chance to feature on a new initiative - ADI 2011 TV, which we are launching in partnership with London based film production company, WebsEdge. This venture will raise the visibility of the hard work of organisations in our field and to provide an opportunity to learn about professionals in dementia care, medical professionals, researchers, family caregivers and people living with dementia.

ADI 2011 TV will be a daily TV show which has two features: "Thought Leadership" and "Conference News". Thought Leadership is five-minute film segments highlighting best practice in the field and features a case study of the participating organisation. Conference News includes daily "behind the scenes" interviews, coverage of conference events, reactions to the day from attending delegates.  All of which will be broadcast at ADI 2011 in Toronto in March.

The TV show will be shown throughout the Sheraton, in delegate hotel rooms on a dedicated channel and online. The Thought Leadership feature segments will showcase Alzheimer’s disease related work from around the world. These segments are filmed in advance enabling WebsEdge film crews to go "on location".

WebsEdge will be reaching out to several organisations for these feature segments. However, we don’t wish to leave any one out of this opportunity. If you have completed a best practice project and would like to be included in the Thought Leadership segments, please contact Mark Rose at mark@websedge.com. 

There are a limited number of spots available, and we would like to have representation from a diverse range of ADI related organisations.

If you participate, a WebsEdge producer will work with you to determine the key messages of the five-minute feature and as well as your own goals for the use of the film outside of the conference. The film will belong to your organisation for its own training and education purposes, community outreach, recruitment, partnerships, or any other requirement. The film will be supplied to your organisation on reproducible DVDs and as streaming video that can be uploaded to your website.

The TV shows produced for the conference will be supported by an ADI 2011 TV newsletter and program guide, in which all featured organisations will have a written description.

To get an idea of the quality and style of programming that is being produced and to see a sample WebTV channel similar to the one being developed for ADI 2011 TV, please visit http://www.globalhealthtv.com/conference_tv/, which offers programming from various global health conferences across the globe.
