Typically Webinars are 55-minutes in length and begin with a 30-minute presentation.   The speaker controls his/her Webcast via their web browser that appears either on your computer monitor, or as you have arranged to project from a computer onto your conference room screen.  This is followed by 20-minutes of moderated discussion/Q&A.  One (sometimes two) individuals have been invited to present and lead each session which you "attend" directly from your office or conference room via teleconference call.  The speaker delivers this presentation directly from his/her own office.  To get the most out of this form of interaction, we encourage you to read:  Getting the Most from an ASPE Webinar and ASPE Webinar Netiquette

LOGISTICS

All Webinars are conducted using the ASPE Teleconference Bridge.  Our current service will accommodate thirty (30) phone lines on each call, so advance registration is necessary to secure your place.  A registrant may be alone on the phone, be on a speaker phone in his/her office with one or two others, or dial in directly from a conference room speaker phone with full projection equipment bringing this presentation to 10, 20, or even more individuals.  Please note - it is essential when using speaker phones that mute buttons be switched ON.   At present there is no fee to register and the only cost to participants is the long distance phone call to where our bridge is located. 

SUPPLEMENTARY VISUAL AIDS

Prior to the Webinar, participants will be provided the URL to view the webcast presentation.  This site is static, being set to the presenter's first slide.  A second URL is provided as a "back-up" and this contains all the presenter's slides in HTML-format.  These can be controlled by the participant so it also provides opportunity for registrants to preview all slides.  (This is the format in which presenters' slides are permanently posted to our website.)  During the actual seminar, the presenter will control movement of the slides on your computer monitor. 

FOLLOW-UP 

Shortly following each ASPE Webinar, the contents of the Webinar will be provided at the ASPE Website.  Those materials may include case summaries, PowerPoint Presentations, Checklists, and a  summary of the Webinar itself.  This affords those who could not attend the actual Webinar the opportunity to view the materials presented.  N.B. Slides are posted for viewing purposes only.  If you wish to have any of these materials, out of courtesy, we ask that you request them directly from the presenter.  Virtually no request has ever been denied. 
 
Although posting to our website of an audio recording of each session is being discussed, this feature is not currently available.
