Overview of Webinars

The Society of Broadcast Engineers is pleased to introduce Webinars by SBE. Webinars by SBE consists of at least one webinar a month on a specific subject of interest to broadcast engineers. You can view the webinar live, or choose to view it from the archives on our website. 

Why sign up for a webinar?

There are several reasons why webinars are beneficial:

  • Time Efficient - Gain immediate information in a short span of time
  • Cost Efficient - When you can’t afford the cost of travel or time away from work
  • Convenient - View a recorded webinar anytime, day or night

What is the format of a webinar?

Each webinar typically lasts 60-90 minutes (some last up to three hours). A presentation is shown over the Internet and audio is heard through VoIP on your computer or by telephone through a phone conference.  Participants of the live webinar can ask questions of the instructor.  Participants of the recorded webinar can view the webinar multiple times. 

What are the system requirements to participate in or view a webinar?

Before registering for a webinar, verify that your computer meets the requirements to fully participate in the meeting:

  • PC or Mac
  • Internet Explorer 7.0 or later, Safari or Firefox
  • At least 800x600 screen resolution
  • Steady Internet connection, 56K or above -some features may require a broadband connection
  • Working computer speakers (if you are listening to the audio via VoIP)

Before logging on to the Internet before your first webinar with SBE, it is highly recommended to conduct a quick test on your computer. Direct your web browser to the following link (or copy and paste the link directly into your web browser): http://www.myeventpartner.com/system_test.

In addition to taking the test above, it is recommended that you make the following changes to your computer settings in preparation:

  • Set Internet and cookies security to low.
  • Set screen resolution to 1024 x 768 or higher.
  • Un-block pop-ups temporarily. To do this, open a web browser window. From the “Tools” menu at the top of the window, choose “Internet Options.” Select the “Privacy” tab and un-check the box next to “Block pop-ups.” Click “Apply” and then “Ok.”
  • On the day of the event you may also have to open your web browser and go to the “Tools” menu to turn off your pop-up blocker.

What Members are saying about Webinars by SBE

"VERY USEFUL to be able to stop, rewind and repeat points and slides we can't do in the live environment. Also, access to the the power point after the fact can aide in focusing on the information presented rather than keeping up with note taking."

Participant of the Leadership Development Webinar Series

"I have been very pleased with the two offerings I've participated in so far and look forward to the next webinar and the Leadership Development Course in Atlanta this August 3 - 5. Mr. Vandeveer is an excellent presenter and his passion for this subject matter is evident. Thank you for the opportunity to participate!"
