Web Seminar Guide

Web Seminars, or webinars,

a new way for you get the latest information on technology for design

- in a more convenient way.

 

Excitech now offer web based seminars and demonstrations as a more convenient way for you to see the latest software applications, new technologies and processes.

While not replacing our normal seminars, demonstrations or indeed training courses they do offer a very convenient way to learn more or determine whether a further investment in time – and maybe travel is justified.

A web seminar or demonstration means you can sit at a PC in your office or even home to participate. You may be shown a presentation (from, for example, PowerPoint) or video, or a live demonstration of a software application and you will hear a commentary from the presenter and in some cases be able to ask questions.

Web Seminars

Some web seminars may be promoted by Excitech but provided by other organisations so details may vary but for web seminars provided by Excitech the following applies.

Excitech Web Seminars

Excitech web seminars can be viewed from your PC with access to the Internet. Sound is normally also through the Internet and your PC sound system.

Afterwards, depending on the event, you may be able to play back the presentation to review or share with colleagues but to do this you will need to register and log in to the Excitech web site.
