TELECONFERENCES

Public Affairs Madrid conducted its first interactive teleconference with the United States via satellite (Worldnet) in 1984. Today, representatives of Spanish media, government, academic and cultural communities attend such discussions regularly. Videotapes are distributed for secondary usage to relevant institutions, such as the Instituto de Estudios Norteamericanos (IEN) in Barcelona which uses some recorded programs for language instruction. Since 1995 Public Affairs Madrid has had the capability to conduct ocean-spanning digital video telephonic conferences, which enable private, focused discussions between Madrid and any point in the United States.
