Chicago, IL – November 21, 2006 – StoryQuest, Inc. introduces its new conference capturing technology method that maximizes sales and training conferences and meetings. This solution has already been utilized by industry leaders such as Miller Heiman, the American Society for Training & Development (ASTD), Technology Professional Services Association (TPSA) as well as others. StoryQuest is quickly proving to be the leading provider of cutting-edge developments to revolutionize mobile learning and sales enablement.

Through podcasting’s popular “push, publish and subscribe” approach, the conference capturing system literally ‘captures’ the actual audio and visual content presented at conferences and makes it available in a fully synchronized, accessible on the web, desktops and iPods. This allows users to experience the synchronized audio and visuals of any presentation either on or offline, on their own schedules – even if it’s six months after a conference takes place.

“The content we presented at our User Conference is relevant and valuable to a broad range of clients who are responsible for driving sales performance in their organizations. By capturing the content in this way, we are able to deliver the information to both attendees and those who could not attend in a mobile, referenceable format,” says Dario Priolo, EVP of corporate development at Miller Heiman.

“MP4 technology lies somewhere between audio and video,” explains StoryQuest founder and CEO Tim Keelan. “Users see actual visual images from a presentation synched with the audio from that presentation. “The beauty of it is that presentations and other content can reside locally so you don’t need to be online to view it. That means you can view slide number 15 of a presentation, whenever you need it. In your car, on a flight, or just before a sales call.”

“Breakthrough learning was the theme of our annual conference for over 250 executives and StoryQuest’s conference capturing is a cost-effective innovation to capture real-time knowledge from thought leaders,” said Dirk Tussing, Executive Director of Learning Executive Exchange. “Our events have five concurrent sessions going on at any one time, making it impossible to be in multiple places at the same time; inviting attendees to revisit the content presented by an experienced thought leader, visually and with synchronized audio, extends the conference experience back to our members’ workspaces and ultimately increasing their teams’ ability to positively impact their specific business objectives.”

Miller Heiman, known as “the Sales Performance Company,” recently applied conference capturing at its Annual User Conference in Lake Tahoe, CA in September 2006. TPSA, the Technology Professional Services Association, is employing the conference capturing technology to enhance its annual TPSA Summit in November.
