Everyone at NYSERDA can now choose between a WebEx Meeting and a WebEx Webinar. There are subtle differences between the two, which can make deciding which to choose difficult. Below is a handy table to help in you decision making process, taken from Cisco WebEx.

Key takeaways:
  • Will you have less than 200 attendees? Meeting is best for you.
  • Is this a collaboration? Meeting is best for you.
  • Is this more of a broadcast or delivering information? Webinar is best for you.
  • Will you be seeing presentations or video from more than just the panelists? Meeting is best for you.
