In a group of three you are to prepare a walk through for a
group of clients examining the Beatty Center for potentially hosting the content
component of International Society of Travel & Tourism Educators Annual Conference
in 2015. The hotel has already been
booked (Francis Marion) and the Society is examining to see if the Beatty
Center would be suitable for hosting the main sessions of the conference.
Your Task
Using your camera phones along with video editing software
(like Splice – free iPhone App); prepare an approximately five minute tour of the
facility which addresses the needs of the conference planners. After you are done, you are to upload your
film to YouTube and send me the link. Be
prepared to show your film in class next week.
I will fill in the gaps tonight.
Specifics
This conference needs are for:
·
A three day conference to be held in mid-October
2015 (flexible dates but prefer a Friday, Saturday, Sunday timeline).
·
A conference facility which can hold one main
session (theatre which can hold 75 delegates) as well as having space for three
concurrent plenary sessions (35-40 delegates each).
o
The classrooms must have internet and AV
equipment included.

a couple of really good YouTube clips to show you what the conference is like.
P.S. - Yes, I agree...I should never go on camera again.
