In June of 2011, Glowpoint and TalkPoint held a successful live video webcasting demonstration focusing on the overall benefits of webcasting and video conferencing technologies.

"The most recent Glowpoint webcast event, outside of being run very professionally, demonstrated just how far visual collaboration has come," said Frank Picarello, Chief Executive Officer at Cadence Management Advisors. "Glowpoint has developed a very robust set of integrated technologies to allow businesses to handle dynamic meetings that are visually intensive. Gone are the days of limiting and complex video conferencing, replaced by dynamic telepresence and document sharing. The experience is second to none. Put this on top of Glowpoint's industry leadership and the future is very bright."
