April 2010

Have a Conferencing Question? Ask Our Expert!

Remember in school, when your teacher told you there is no such thing as a stupid question? We at ConferencePlus agree and have designed an ongoing webinar series to do just that - answer any and all questions you have about conferencing.

]]> Our monthly educational series will cover "how to's," tips and tricks, best practices, top trends, industry updates, and social media. We will also discuss and provide continued feedback on how you can plan and execute a successful lead generating webinar program.

Join us for April's Ask The Expert Webinar featuring Roger Courville, author of The Virtual Presenter's Handbook.

We are pleased to kick off our series with Roger Courville. Roger is author of The Virtual Presenter's Handbook, principal at the 1080 Group, and recent inductee into the National Speaker's Association. Roger will be discussing the challenges many of us face when presenting online, versus presenting in-person. Our April session entitled, "Virtual Presentation Skills: Online vs Face-to-Face," will be taking place Thursday, April 29, 2009, Time: 12:00 pm CDT.

Webinar highlights include:

The three worst webinar mistakes and how to avoid them
How to think visually to avoid "death by bullet points"
How to deliver an authentic, engaging online experience

Using conferencing is one of the easiest ways for your organization to be more environmentally and socially responsible.

Conferencing services are a naturally green alternative to business travel. By conducting meetings through conferencing, you reduce your need for travel and in turn - you reduce your carbon footprint. This saves valuable time, valuable budget resources, and the environment.

]]> Launching g-meetings.com

To help promote the various ways organizations can go green in addition to conferencing, we've launched a new website - g-meetings.com.

Come visit us and you'll see some of the ways ConferencePlus is taking action to be more environmentally responsible in our business efforts. Hopefully you will come away with some new ideas to help your own organization.

5 green office tips to promote corporate sustainability and responsibility.

2008-05-14T19:15:30Z

We all know conferencing is one of the easiest ways to go green. But don't stop there - going green is a lot easier than you think - and your office is a perfect place to start.

]]>

Turn off your computer.
This is a no brainer. If you don't already turn off your monitor and computer (or put it in standby/sleep mode) when you're not in the office, START!

Use mugs rather than Styrofoam cups.
1984 called and they want their Styrofoam cups back! Seriously, bring in your favorite cup or mug instead and stop wasting Styrofoam, paper, and plastic cups.

Switch to the greenest paper available.
First and foremost try to print as little as possible. But when you have to print documents choose the green stuff, made with 100% post-consumer waste, recycled, never-bleached paper.

Recycle. Recycle. Recycle.
Are you smarter than a 5th grader? Let's see - do you recycle in your office? If no, then start recycling already! Even a 5th grader knows the benefits of recycling and that means everything: toner cartridges, aluminum, glass, paper, and cardboard.

Turn off the lights!
It turns out your dad was right when he told you to turn off lights whenever you leave the room. According to the EPA's Green Lights Program, the common belief that turning a light off and on wastes energy is a myth. So give the electricity bills a break and flip the switch!

If you're already doing some of these things - go ahead and give yourself a pat on the back - we're proud of you. If not, what are you waiting for? It's easy being green.

Sincerely,

Team Productivity

Increase audience retention rates from your conference calls with web conferencing services.

2007-09-17T19:21:10Z

We've all done it. We've struggled to keep ourselves awake during a teleconference or meeting. And while we've tried to pay close attention, a well intentioned speaker has lulled us to sleep with a monotonous lecture.

Retention of information is the key, whether you're communicating with clients, conducting product training or holding internal meetings.

]]> Research has shown that using interactive-learning techniques can substantially boost participants' retention of the information conveyed.

"What can I do?"

Incorporating interactive elements into your meetings is easier than you think, and your next conference call is the perfect place to start.

Next time try using web conferencing tools to present slideshows, share applications, and collaborate on ideas.

You can keep your audience interested and involved while increasing their retention rates at the same time.

Click here for more information about how WebPlus web conferencing from ConferencePlus can help get your participants more involved and ensure your presentations don't become monotonous.
