Q2, 2020: Cyberspace (May 4, 5, 6, & 7)

Meeting Recap

Our Q2 2020 member meeting, held over four days through the Zoom video conferencing platform, was a rousing success. Our working group sessions were extremely well attended (with sometimes over 50 people), we had interesting and engaging presentations each day, and our virtual happy hour/trivia game (with a surprising first place prize) was a fun way to cap off the meeting. Several new projects were introduced both at the organization level and individual working groups: QoE/Measurement, Edge Storage, and Live Streaming.

Testimonials

The SVA Virtual Member Meeting was successful beyond my expectations. The four short-day format with brief breaks was very efficient, and the scheduling of the Working Group sessions allowed all members to easily sit in on every session to get a holistic view of SVA activities.

Glenn Goldstein, Subject Matter Expert (Streaming Video Technology Alliance (SME))

I thought it worked well and would like to see us continue to do this for some of the meetings going forward. Great job by everyone at the SVA for pulling this together on short notice.

Matt Tooley, Vice President of Broadband Technology (NCTA)

The alliance’s first virtual face to face was a total flawless event and was near perfect. I was very happy to see large participation and a very attentive audience. There were no logon glitches and start and end time of sessions were on the dot. Best was the virtual happy hour with a game (without Googling) to cap off the meeting. Great job by the team and the enthusiastic member participation.

Sanjay Mishra, Associate Fellow (Verizon)
