CONNECTING IN REAL TIME . . . . Over the Internet!Live-streaming events from all Defoor Centre venues.

Defoor Centre can video and stream an event over the Internet live to any place in the world.

Family and friends who cannot attend a special family event, can attend wherever in the

world they are, using a digital device -- an ordinary cellphone, a smart TV, a tablet or a laptop.

It is called “live streaming.” Defoor Centre can store the video on www.DefoorCentre.com

for “on demand” viewing for as long as it is needed, and/or send the memorable video home

on a memory card.

Occasions for streaming:

1.      All family events held at Defoor – for family and friends who cannot be there: weddings, reunions, vow renewals and baby showers, birthday parties, bar/bat mitzvahs and Quinceros.

2.      All performances – music, dance, poetry readings – have a built-in audience in another part of the world, accessible by the Internet.

4.      Corporate celebrations include job promotions, annual meetings, offsite retreats, seminars.

6.      Fundraisers. There are many ways to bring invited guests into an event who cannot attend. Prize drawings and silent auctions are just two of them.

7.      Music and dance recitals can ensure that all family members can be there if not in person, from anywhere in the world.

8.      Theater dress rehearsals can be photographed and sent to a donor or off-site producer or critic for last-minute adjustments.

9.      Art shows are perfect for streaming. A known critic can speak on an artist’s work, even inteerviewing that artist if present. It can be streamed live across the Internet to interested parties anywhere.
