Radisson blanks live stream at fraud conference

Director of the Global Forensic Institute and the event’s organiser Jerome Chambers told Newsday yesterday he was not given any explanation for the barring of TSTT officials from the IT room by hotel officials.

“A few of my fellow organisers spoke to staff at the hotel who said they were not aware of any arrangements for a live stream,” Chambers said. “I visited the hotel myself and they agreed to help when I explained that TSTT will be organising the equipment for the feed. Later on during the weekend I found out that the technicians were turned away because staff was not willing to allow them access to the room.” Chambers said the hotel has arranged for live-stream communications in the past. Despite this setback however, he maintained that the conference was a success and said that he was prepared to arrange another session whereby guests would be able to hear the address. Newsday attempted to contact the hotel’s corporate communications manager and a woman who identified herself as ‘Mrs Nicholas’ said she was unable to speak on the matter.
