Better commuications

You havn't said anything about what Real Media is, what they advocate or seek to achieve, and, in terms of providing info which might encourage readers to listen to the audio files, you've given little more than a list of names of speakers, whose names will (with all due respect) mean almost nothing to anyone outside your immediate circle of contacts.

In order to communicate effectively, you need to make it easy for your intended audience - provide readers with some incentive to click on the links (especially when listening to moderately long audio files requires quite an investment of time and effort on the part of people who might only have a cursory interest in whatever it is you're trying to communicate)
