For Upcoming Webinars Click Here
A Webinar is a seminar conducted over the Internet, a type of online conference. Unlike a Webcast, which transmits information in only one direction, a Webinar is designed to be interactive between the presenters and audience. It is "live" in the sense that information is conveyed according to an agenda, with a starting and ending time. In most cases, the presenter may speak over a standard telephone line, pointing out information being presented on the viewers' computer screen. The audience can ask questions of the presenter by typing messages to the presenters via an online chat tool.
To register click on the ISS icon. Registration is FREE to members of the Illinois Mini Storage Association. You will receive an email confirmation with the URL for logging into the live webinar. A toll free number will also be provided should you wish to listen only (by telephone).
