Tech Cheat Sheet
Webinar Technology
In order to run webinars you need to not only use, but also take advantage of technology. This is an area that is pretty scary for most, and yes, technology can certainly be frustrating at times! But it also ensures that we can run webinars and use them to our advantage. So embrace technology! And we are here to make it simple for you.
Below is a list of the technology that we use and recommend
WEBINAR SCHEDULING
Event Time Calander
This is a really handy tool for working out what time your webianr is on in different time zones around the world, so that you know which countries to market your webinar to if you are trying to get an international audience. There’s no point marketing to countries where your webinar is going to be on in the middle of the night!
Enter in the date and time of your webinar and see what time that will be around the world.
