This webinar attracted over 130 registrants and the subsequent response from the webinar proved to be beneficial for the Center and helped attract industry interest and additional avenues for future collaborations.”

Webinars are usually scheduled mid-week. The preferred window is Tuesday through Thursday between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. Eastern, with 1 to 2 p.m. Eastern commonly used to accommodate varying time zones.

How to Host a Successful Webinar
To be successful, potential sponsors wishing to participate are expected to meet the following criteria:
- Possess demonstrated knowledge of the interests and needs of the UIDP community. This can be accomplished through participation in prior events (including webinars) or through a strategic relationship with a UIDP member who uses and recommends the services/tools they wish to showcase.
- Commit to a focus on member interest and alignment of commonly-held goals.
- Complete a UIDP Showcase Webinar application. Applications will be reviewed by UIDP for appropriateness of content and to ensure there’s a high enough level of interest in the content among our membership. The application is simple and gives UIDP the needed information to effectively evaluate the merits of a potential webinar.
- Submit slides for approval one week in advance of the webinar. Prior experience shows that having a one-week lead time to review materials increases the potential benefits from any webinar presentation.
- Case examples and demos are strongly encouraged. Webinar attendees highly value seeing real-world examples of how your products/services have helped others achieve their desired results.
- Co-presenting with a current customer that our members can identify with is strongly encouraged. Having third party testimonials is a powerful way to convey the value of your tools.
