Ever find an image on the web and wonder if you can use it in a presentation? Have you shown a YouTube video in a course that is also being streamed online? Are you familiar with the TEACH Act?Do you know what “fair use” really means for you, your instructors and presenters or your organization? Yeah, it’s complicated. But it’s worth the effort to master the basics. Especially now when online presentations, e-learning and virtual courses are being delivered via live webcast and streaming video at an unprecedented rate.
The majority of marketers plan to increase spending on online, virtual and hybrid events. Yet, most meeting and marketing professionals still employ the “If We Build It, They Will Come” approach to promoting these new meeting formats.
Think that gets results? If only it did. Simply hosting a hybrid or virtual conference doesn’t guarantee people will show up. And even once they register, it doesn’t mean they’ll tune in, participate and contribute when you go live.
The concept of just-in-time training is not new. Live online training is used to reach people across time and distance. But how do you keep those viewers engaged? How do you make sure they are with you, and will come back for more? And how do you keep your sanity in the process?
You’ve heard of hybrid events. You know that they can help you expand the reach of your event by including those who simply cannot attend. What should those remote attendees experience? What is the easiest and most reliable way to make that happen?
Of course, hybrid event technology does add some moving parts. What are those? Who manages them? And how do I select a partner I can trust to hide any complexity and just “make it happen?”

What would motivate a small non-profit to buy an enterprise grade webcasting platform? Could they ever expect to see a return on that kind of investment? And why bother with professional-grade, purpose-built hardware, when software is cheaper and easier, right?
Wrong, at least according to the Energy Center of Wisconsin.
They needed to get their energy efficiency message out to a larger audience - without a big budget and without putting their viewers to sleep with a lot of technical data.
