Committed to improving performance but can’t always travel to meetings? Presented by trusted field experts, Americans for the Arts webinars are flexible enough to meet demanding schedules and affordable enough for multiple use.  At a member price of $85 per site, you can choose to learn from your desk or lower the cost per person by inviting a group to join in.  Hosting a webinar site is also a great way to connect with colleagues more often!

What is a webinar?

Webinars are 90-minute online seminars on a current topic, issue, or trend. This new media platform enables a high level of interaction with the presenter, other attendees, and the content. To join a webinar, you will need access to high speed internet and a phone line for at least 90 minutes. Some webinars may have advance reading assignments or post event follow-up items.

How does a webinar work?

On the scheduled date and time, log onto the web site to view the presentation online and simultaneously call in to hear the presenter, contribute to the discussion, and participate in the Q&A.  To attend live, you must have an internet connection and a phone line.  Land lines are preferred, as cell phones are not always reliable in certain service areas.  Instructions for accessing webinars will be sent via email prior to the event.
