Our Mission
GigaVox Media
GigaVox Media, Inc. is the leading audio/video podcast technology company with products such as The Levelator™ and the GigaVox Media platform. The company was formed to further develop the technology created while building the longest running podcast network: IT Conversations.
IT Conversations and our other channels compose the GigaVox Media network, our online publisher of recordings of spoken-word events such as conferences, lectures and meetings and shows hosted by experts in their fields. The channels which make up the network are listed on the right.
GigaVox Media Network's Mission
Every day scores of educational, inspirational and entertaining conference sessions, lectures and other spoken-word presentations are lost. They simply evaporate because no one records them. Some of these presentations are by the greatest and most inspiring minds of our time, and many would be important to people in the far reaches of the planet, if only they could hear them.
The GigaVox Media network captures presentations, processes the recordings, and publishes them online for free under Creative Commons licenses. Our magazine-style network of channels is based on the already successful IT Conversations model.
