What is the Women’s Conference:
Under the leadership of California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger and First Lady Maria Shriver, The Women’s Conference has grown from a small government initiative for working professionals into a far-reaching organization, a life-changing experience, and an international network of women from all walks of life, backgrounds and perspectives. The Women’s Conference event is the largest and most dynamic gathering of women in the nation. Recognized for its unparalleled capacity to empower and inspire women to become architects of change, the annual conference unites more than sixty internationally-acclaimed leaders and visionaries with 14,000 women in one arena, plus thousands more virtually, to share enriching stories of transformation and success, words of encouragement and life lessons.

Our current top priority is to improve the Mogulus service reliability and scalability. We want to become industry leaders in service reliability for your live streaming events and 24/7 channels. As some of you might have experienced, we have had recently some intermittent growing pains due to our sharp increase in traffic.

An important part of this initiative is to improve communication and transparency with our community when we experience problems or are planning scheduled maintenance. Our first step was to launch the Mogulus Forum in our support section.

Today we launched the new “Mogulus Service Health Dashboard“. It has been designed to provide full transparency on any current issue or planned maintenance which impacts the Mogulus service. You can now expect any current issue to be published at that URL – this is the first place to go to when you wonder if there are issues with the network. During planned maintenance we will also use this page to provide detailed ongoing updates.

The New England Cable News Network will be broadcasting the Presidential Debate on their website tonight, from 8pm ET on.

Check out the below video announcing the coverage powered by Mogulus.

The Mogulus team released an updated version of the Mogulus Player and Studio.

New features include :
- RSS Storyboards – Turn any Media RSS Feed into an automatically updated Mogulus storyboard. Mogulus will keep the storyboard synchronised so that when a new video podcast is published – it appears automatically in your Mogulus channel. You can make that storyboard available as a Video On Demand playlist or let it drive your auto-pilot.

- New advanced feature when using Flash Media Encoder with Mogulus : Including the ability to set an aspect ratio to support 16/9 cameras, ability to automatically add your recording to the on-demand library and auto-pilot without the need to go in the studio.

- Upload File Update : Upload Flash Video files (.FLV) directly to Mogulus without re-transcoding so that you can perform your own encoding using tools such as On2 Flix Pro (www.on2.com)
