Yesterday
at 5.00pm (GMT+1) Earthscan’s first Earthcast hit the internet airwaves, and by
all accounts it was a great success. Just a few attendees shy of reaching our
500 registrations limit, there was a faint air of nervousness in the Earthcast
recording studio as the minutes counted down and weeks of hard work finally came
to a climactic, breath-holding 3, 2, 1…
And then
we were away. The dulcet tones of Earthscan’s very own Dan
Harding introduced the Earthcast series and our speakers, the
presentations began and after just over an hour of four speakers, almost 50 PowerPoint
slides, 4 polls and a live question and answer session, we wrapped it up and
all breathed a huge collective sigh of relief. We’d done it. And it all went
according to plan!
Of
course, there’s always room for improvement, and we certainly won’t be resting
on our laurels just yet (we already have another Earthcast lined up for 30th
September) so we’re seeing this very much as having taken the first steps in something
new, valuable, and genuinely exhilarating for us, our authors and of course our
Earthscan community.
If you
missed it you can watch a recording of the whole event by visiting our

And while
you’re there, don’t forget to sign up to next month’s event Sustainable Business Practice:
Process and Implementation. It’s going to be unmissable for
anyone concerned with sustainability in business.
