Pardon me, criticism of IPC ahead.  Stop reading now if you don't want to
hear it.

What I don't understand about IPC webcasts is why they are producing them in
such a low-tech way.  It is a webcast, so you would expect it to use the
web...but it doesn't.
You have to download the slides ahead of time and flip them yourself during
the presentation, AND you have to call in separately from the web link to
hear the audio.  You don't even need to be logged into the site during the
cast.

Why can't they set it up to provide the audio on the website and
automatically advance the slides?  I've sat thru many webcasts that do this.
And almost all of those were free, to boot.  Instead, you have to pay for an
hour-long long distance call (if you aren't in the US and have access to the
toll-free number), on top of the seminar fee.

I hope the presenter is better on this one than the last one.  Basically,
once I downloaded the slides I could have not even bothered to listen to the
presentation on WEEE.  He didn't do much more than read the slides.

There are lots of webcast hosting sites out there.  For the price being
charged, they should be able to afford using one.
