At least you discovered its benefit over 2 years ago. For many people outside the marketing world, webinars are still a relatively new tool. After reading about your RIM presentation, I wanted to reiterate just how easy the technology is. It really involves nothing more than uploading your PowerPoint slides beforehand and dialing into the conference phone number. <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.intercall.com/" rel="nofollow">InterCall</a>, the company I work for, hosts thousands of webinars every year for our clients, and even have our own series of webinars. I wanted to mention what <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.intercall.com/" rel="nofollow">InterCall</a>, brings to the webinar table (since I noticed we were omitted from the key vendors list at the bottom of your blog, and we’re actually the largest provider of this kind of service in the world!). As you’ve learned with <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.smartware.com/" rel="nofollow">SmartWare</a>, recent launch, there are so many concerns to starting a new business. I don’t think selecting a webinar vendor should be one of them.

Great article but was curious as to why Intercall was not included in your list of vendors. We work with them on many projects and, as the world's largest provider, they have developed a way to hold these webinars in multiple languages - all in real time. It definitely helps bridge the gap for global organizations with multilingual staff. Ken Molay wrote an article last week on how this process works. If you or your readers are interested, here's the link: http://wsuccess.typepad.com/webinarblog Regards, Daniel Hi Tom.

There is a lot involved from pre-conference invites, practice runs, preparing presentations, Q&A, and post conference follow-up. At ReadyTalk , we have a dedicated staff of event specialists that will help you with your event from beginning to end. We even have a web seminar on how to conduct successful webinars that is free for everyone on Feb 23rd. You can find it here: http://www.readytalk.com/web-seminar-series/ Mike Hi Tom, Great article.
