I have taken my share of webinars and attended many seminars. However, I have not decided which I like better. What is your opinion: webinar or seminar?
There are good points about each. If I am attending a webinar there is no travel, only an hour or two from my work, lower cost and less extraneous chatter. Ironically, the positives for a webinar are also the negatives for a webinar: there is no travel, only an hour or two from my work and less extraneous chatter. I love to travel, occasionally I love being out of the office, I love meeting new people and all the small talk, all positive aspects of seminars.
This afternoon I attended a webinar that was very interesting, the subject matter moved at the correct pace and I learned a thing or two, the basis for a good webinar. I also attended a seminar this month that was very interesting to hear what my peers are doing as an ESOP, the subject matter moved at the correct pace and I learned a thing or two. How do you decide?
Over the years, I have learned the names of the presenters and if I like their style of presentations. That is objective however, it provides a basis to decide. What happens when the subject matter is so compelling that you will listen to a presenter that you are not fond of their style? In that instance, I say seminar and here is why:
- Meeting your peers adds their knowledge to the seminar
- The give and take of the audience breathes life into the subject
- Lastly, as humans we are still social beings and enjoy the company of others.
During the next month, I have six webinars and three seminars scheduled. I will have plenty of information to decide: is it seminar or webinar?
