Switch to virtual seminars- Webinar
services
Multiple factors influence the way an
organizational event or business meeting is conducted. Decisions involve- should it be via audio or computer? What audience interaction to facilitate? Should there be live demo or slides? Webinar services take businesses through the entire process, helping them develop a project plan. Companies offering these services advise on best practices and make sure that the organizational event runs professionally.
Many planning decisions are involved- which conferencing technology best meets needs and budget? What days and times are best for scheduling? How to promote the event? What should go into invitations and reminder messages? A webinar is an online event hosted by an organization and broadcast to a select group of individuals through their computers via the Internet. It is also referred to as webcast or web seminar.
A speaker from the organization shares presentations, videos, web pages or other multimedia content with multi located audiences. Webinars services host visual components through Internet browser. The audio is broadcast through audience’s computers or telephone. It facilitates interaction as audience can ask the speaker questions in real-time by instant messaging or e-mail.
Hosting requires the use of
specialized software that configures presenter and audience PC’s for communicating. Many vendors also offer webinar software applications rich in features. Internet is buzzing with companies that offer free webinar services to businesses for their seminar needs.
An effective means to bring people together without travel and schedule inconveniences, webinar services pay off for a company only after systematic planning, training, and practice.
Vendors offer consulting services like reviewing a company’s current conferencing technology tools and materials, watching their presentations and offering advice on improving preparation, promotion, and delivery. All these can form a part of free webinar services.
