Before your event, get familiar with how to schedule an event and know the basics of Webex Webinars . Webex Webinars is not the same as Webex Meetings - scheduling an event and being an event host requires practice. We recommend running a test session with the host and panelists prior to running the actual event.

Open up the event early and start a practice session so that attendees joining early don’t hear the host and panelists getting ready to go live. Once you start the event, we recommend using the interactive features Webex Webinars provides, such as feedbackQ&A, and polling to keep attendees engaged. Don’t forget to record the event.

After the event, distribute post-event surveys and analyze results, send emails with a link to the recording, and run reports on live and recorded event stats.
