According to my Stake Presidency, before every General Conference there is an Auxiliary Training Session held in SLC. One of them heard that it might be broadcasted (via Satellite or Internet).

Does anyone have any information about the broadcast and how we might be able to get it?

Yes, there are auxiliary training sessions. They are at different times and different locations for each auxiliary (see the training workshops schedule).

But I've never heard of these being broadcast. There is nothing on the broadcast information page about any broadcast. Sometimes portions of some of the training are made available on lds.org, but that varies widely by auxiliary.

Of the entire Auxiliary training Broadcasts, None will be broadcast over the satellite network. However the Young Men's Broadcast will be streamed. I have some inquaries in as to who can get the streaming inforamtion and will update this post when I know more.

All other auxiliary trainings can only be attended live and in person.

Update: anyone wishing to view the YM broadcast remotely can do so: http://lds.org/video/ym password ldsst13

Steve, Just to be clear, is it okay for anyone to view the live webcast? Can I share it with other Bishops and YM leaders?

Yes, It has been approved to be shared with anone interested in it. If they had not, I would not have posted it in a public forum. As to who should be asked to view it, I can not say, that I think should best be decided by local leadership. but feel free to share the information with whomever.

This is great but what is the time of the broadcast. I see that it is for 31 mar 2011, but no time. Thanks for letting us know.

Will there be streaming of any of the other auxiliary training sessions, i.e. Primary, YW, Relief Society, etc.?
If so, how do we get the appropriate links and passwords?

Thanks,
Gary Graham

Sorry, just read the post more carefully and saw that only YM training session will be streamed.
Anyone know why this is and might the other sessions be streamed in the future?

The decison on how the events are made avialble is left up to each of the individual auxilaries for their respective events. As to what will be avilible in the future I can not say, as that is will always be decided by the Auxilaries.

Any possibility that last night's YM Auxiliary Leadership Training will be available for download or subsequent streaming?
It was an excellent meeting but I think very few if any of our YM leaders were aware it was available.

Thanks,

Same question. I was in the father/son choir at the meeting in the tabernacle, and it was a wonderful meeting. I think the presumption by my stake leaders and the choir director was that it would be made available at some point, but no clue just how that would happen. Given that it was webcast in the first place, I'm a bit surprised that the video isn't just sitting there under the same link as the original webcast.

I am a technology specialist for my stake and aside from setting up the live viewing of the stream, I also had requests from my stake presidency to somehow record the meeting as there were many not in attendance due to the short notice. From a home PC I was able to record the two hour broadcast using a third-party application but the streaming quality for the most part was poor (when you're at the mercy of the Internet there's often not much you can do to fully resolve that).

Anyways, it was a fantastic meeting and it would be great if the broadcast was made publicly available on lds.org. If it's not, I would be willing to provide some sort of DVD copy of the broadcast (keeping in mind the poor quality). I'm also not certain I can fully do this in case there is some sort of violation in doing so, so hopefully someone will make me aware in this thread if that is the case.

Thanks-

My wife is stake YW president in our stake and attended the General YW auxiliary training. She was delighted that there was such positive enthusiasm for using technology, and is now planning stake training to carry this emphasis on better communication tools forward. It would be so great if the YW General Presidency made their training more generally available, precisely for such purposes. She said it was an awesome meeting.

Some material from some previous trainings did get online, particularly for the Young Men, the pieces on training young men to preside and a segment featuring young men talking about their offices did make it online. Not sure where they are at on the new site but go to the young men tab on the old site under Serving in the Church to see them.

Some of the presentations by the YM General Presidency from those periods are also found there.

Sunday School has a few things, no actual video though.

A few of these past ones were later, very shortly after the event, recorded (one YM training had the talk by Brother Dahlquist recorded live) and prepared offsite and broadcast via BYUTV. That was before the video possibilities of the Internet became more prominent and the technology was more fully developed.

Just a quick update. I did some searching around tonight and found an on-demand, streamable version of this broadcast on lds.org (thank you for those who published it!).

Here is the link if you are interested... I know my stake will be as it was a fantastic meeting.

Thank you for posting this.

From the URL, it's clear that you found it by doing a search. The heading makes it look like it is in the Aaronic Priesthood section of Serving in the Church, but I couldn't find the page within that section by working through menus and links. I also tried several other ways to find this by looking at lists of broadcasts, etc. But it's very well hidden -- only by doing a search could I find it. I'd think that this would at least be linked to from the Leader Resources section. Perhaps it got posted first, and the links will follow....
