ThirdWay
Live web conference or recorded web cast? Until now, that has been the only choice available for those who need to make presentations, do training or hold seminars over the Internet.

But now there is PresentPLUS™ ThirdWay.
It’s true. Nothing can beat the ‘buzz’ of a live show ‘in-person’ or over the Internet. But both are EXPENSIVE. Consider a web conference –

If you use the collaborative tools and have a small group, it may still be the most effective solution. But our experience (nearly 8000 web conferences) is most people DON’T use or need white boarding or Internet chat. And, it’s difficult to gather everyone together – no matter where they are – at the same time. Web conference attendance typically runs less than 50 percent of client expectations! Then there are the connectivity issues, the fact the information is only offered one time, presenter training (it’s no easy feat managing audio, internet and all your materials live) and the preparation required for a live show, etc. Retention of information is variable.

On the other hand –
Nothing can beat the price of a quick, on-demand (recorded) web cast. But you lose the interaction with the audience that people DO often require: web surfing, application showing, polling, surveys, video clips, audio, etc. And you lose the important immediacy and cohesiveness of hosting an event or ‘show’.

But now there is PresentPLUS™ ThirdWay, the culmination of our of 13 years experience in live, video and web based events -
We begin your event with a totally new kind of pre-recorded, on-demand annotated slide show venue that actually allows your viewers to fill out polling questions and surveys - all recorded in FLASH so there are no player-based headaches! Polls and surveys can be studied and filled out at the attendee’s own pace and cumulative results can be posted for public or private viewing.

We wrap the show with a web-based document log (for providing attendees supplemental downloadable materials) and a web-based text log (for messaging between those with event permissions). We offer invitation and reservation management (all automated over the web) as well as extensive exit surveys and testing after the show. We can even deliver certificates of accomplishment to your attendees!

PresentPLUS™ will drive your audience to your show over a period of time you select (one week or one month is typical, from Friday to Friday or from the 1st to the 1st, but 2-day events are not uncommon if timeliness and immediacy are priority issues). They can view the show AS MANY TIMES AS THEY LIKE at their own leisure – no extra cost to you! They can post messages to the entire group or send questions to the event’s owner. They can view and download documents for study. The ThirdWay experience offers more information and time for the attendee to fully grasp and study your message than any other venue - at a budget respecting price.

At the end of the fixed viewing time, a short live, operator assisted interactive conference call is offered. Attendees can call in and have a roundtable discussion with you while viewing the event’s slides on a click-able set of web pages or their downloaded copy.

We can also deliver CD or Wallet-CD copies of your event for a nominal additional charge!

All of this for slightly more than an on-demand web cast and substantially LESS than a live web conference or a live in-the-room meeting.Retention levels, interest and attendance will actually be higher than a live web conference.

Prices for a complete PresentPLUS™ package with many of the above features start at just $1295.00 for an audience of up to 100!

PresentPLUS ThirdWay is the perfect distance learning tool or Virtual Conference. It’s also great for leveraging trade shows and annual conferences to an extended virtual audience.
