The Technology
Whether your event is for 20 people or for 400 people, webinars are a great way to take the stress, cost and time out of organising an event!
A webinar is a seminar that is hosted entirely online and utilises two common communication technologies – web (internet browser) and audio (telephone or mobile device). It is the integration of these technologies that creates a virtual online event environment where your audience can participate at their convenience – on the road, at home or from their office – with no need to travel to a physical venue.
As a host of a webinar, you may be required to download a simple plug-in which takes a few minutes for more information. [bookmark to Software Requirements]
