Create Revenue Producing Learning Opportunities Beyond Virtual Webinars
1.0 Credit Hour for Live Attendance. Join today >
Whether you call it a webinar, a virtual workshop or something else entirely your association is almost certainly producing online learning opportunities for your audience. But what was once a commodity is now commonplace, and our associations are challenged to provide meaningful content that current and prospective members are interested in consuming. Webinars are an important learning tool for associations, but it is becoming increasingly clear that it can’t be the only online learning opportunity we provide. In this 1-hour workshop, we will explore how associations can begin to think beyond the traditional webinars to provide new value for members and create revenue.
