effective alternatives, such as audio, web and video conferencing. For the vast majority of internal and external<br />
meetings, says Carolyn Campbell, Senior Director of Marketing Communications at InterCall, a web conference<br />
can be the best solution to save money, cut down on unproductive travelling time and reduce carbon emissions.<br />
