Everyone at NYSERDA can now choose between a WebEx Meeting and a WebEx Event. There are subtle differences between the two, which can make deciding which to choose difficult.  Here's a handy table to help in your decision making process:

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? Event is best for you
  • Will you be seeing presentations or video from more than just the panelists? Meeting is best for you
