World Table Tennis Championships
Originating in 1926 in London World Table Tennis Championships take place on a yearly basis in different locations around the globe. What someone has to know about WTTC is that since 1957(that the games were held in Stockholm, Sweden) the championships are held as individual and team events alternately. That means in every odd year we have individual WTTC while in every even year we have the international team events.

Astra Conference & Mediazone – Now that’s news!
This past Saturday – March the 31st marked the end of the Astra Journalism Conference which began on Friday March the 30th.
Mediazone helped produce and organize the event along with the Computer Centre & the University, and provided audio / video technical support. Our Engineer It help install a live streaming event, hosted on our website. We provided video coverage for the entire 2 day event, and are in the process of creating a data file archive.
Mediazone lab assistants & volunteers pitched in to help on a rotating shift schedule making all of this possible.
Many thanks go to all those involved, whether you were standing behind the camera, setting up software, testing or making phone calls, the Mediazone team pulled through again!
