ABSTRACT

Beakman and the technological challenges: ticketing and transmission online



Fernando Javier Martínez Mendoza


With the announcement of Beakman's visit to the Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM), it was given to the Institute of Physics the task of turning a small show into a massive event accessible to everyone without endangering the assistants' welfare. The following article describes the solution undertaken by the institute to solve this conundrum by the use of software and large broadcasting via Youtube. It is, finally, the undeniable proof of the usefulness of technology in facilitating a broad scientific communication.



Keywords: Beakman, ticket system, streaming.
