"Conference 2.0: Organizing and Hosting Online Educational Events"
A 60-minute webinar with Steve Hargadon, held live (and recorded) on Thursday, March 19th, 2020, at 4:00 pm Eastern Standard Time.
OVERVIEW: Online conferences are an incredibly effective way to gather groups or learning communities around a topic without the travel, financial, and logistical complications of a physical event. Currently, because of health concerns, many groups are thinking about taking their physical event and transforming it into a virtual/online event. This usually makes a lot of sense, but is not without challenges, and this webinar will cover the main things to think about for an online educational event, with checklists and processes to consider..
