What is a webinar?
Short for web-based seminar, a webinar is a presentation, workshop, or seminar transmitted live over the Internet. Attendees sit at their own computers to watch the presentation, typically while listening to the speaker(s) through a standard telephone line. Unlike webcasts, most webinars provide for some interaction between speaker and audience, typically involving Q&A.

A coworker will attend a webinar with me. Does each person need to register separately?
If your coworker will be with you and both of you will be looking at the same computer screen and listening to the same phone, only one registration is needed. If your coworker will be in a different location or wishes to view the presentation on a separate computer, a separate registration will be needed.
I cannot attend a webinar at the time it is offered, but I am interested in the topic. May I attend the webinar at another time?
The webinar will not be available before the appointed date and time, but it will be archived for access after the live presentation. If you register for the webinar, A.R.E. will email you a link to the archived version after the webinar. This link will allow you to see and hear the archived presentation through your computer. And you'll be able to email any questions to the sponsor.

Will I be able to ask questions during the webinar?
Yes. During the webinar, you can submit questions by typing them into the questions box on your computer screen. You may submit a question at any time during the webinar.
