First of all, what is a webinar?
Quite simply, the term” webinar ” is built from the words “web” and “seminar”, so it's an interactive meeting, like seminary, via the Internet.
The principle is simple, the organizer sets an appointment and informs people who wish to participate; webinars are generally subject to registration. Everything is done at distance, on a computer, the organizer activates his camera or shares his screen and the participants watch live and can interact.
Characteristics of webinars
First, the particularity of this type of seminar is, of course, that it is online. In addition, the webinar is still a very good way to communicate, swap and interact.
As a result, it is possible to use numerous tools, whether for organizers or for participants.
The benefits of an online seminar
In view of the health situation, coming together is becoming very difficult. However, it is very important to keep in touch with colleagues, but also with customers, partners, etc.
So the main advantage of the webinar is the possibility of communicate remotely.
However, here are other benefits:
- Save money on travel expenses, catering, accommodation,...
- Reach a larger audience: no limited number of participants,
- Need very little hardware: a computer, a camera, the Internet and an application and that's it!
- Exchange information easily, during and after the webinar.
For participants too, there are advantages:
- Register easily and quickly (registration is very often free),
- Participate in the webinar anonymously,
- Be able to interact with the organizer in real time.
Software to do a webinar
Indeed, there are many tools to make webinars. There are Zoom, Livestorm, ClickMeeting or EverWebinar. All of them allow you to carry out online seminars, at different prices, and with generally the same functionalities.
At Symalean, we have started webinars, especially in Italy, but we are also starting to do so in France.
For this, we use the Go To Webinar software. All we need to do is schedule our webinar and provide the participants with the registration link. You can then find each webinar on the site.
Symalean makes every effort to maintain a interactive communication. Explanatory videos, but also podcasts. Each week, you can find on our social networks a podcast made by a member of our team. You can also find them on our “Media” page.
