Factors to Consider in Live Webcasting an Event

Posted by SHIV KAKAR on Tue, Aug 23, 2011 @ 11:54 AM

If you are considering having a live online event, there are several factors for you to consider. Your first step will be to think through all the reasons why you want to have a live event.

For instance, if you are merely seeking interactive features such as chat, polling and other responses, it is not necessary to go live.
