More than 90 percent of trade and professional associations say they are using or plan soon to use some form of e-learning to deliver education and adoption of virtual events - like online conferences - has more than doubled in the past year. Tagoras Managing Director Jeff Cobb will address these trends and their practical impact when he speaks to association executives at the annual Association Executives of North Carolina (AENC) Technology Showcase.

"Online education and events are a fact of life for associations at this point," said Cobb, "but many organizations are still struggling to get programs off the ground or achieve the expected results. In this talk, we'll focus specifically on Webinars and Webcasts and discuss how organizations can get the most impact out of these common platforms."

As part of the presenation, Cobb will draw upon data from the Association Virtual Events report released recently by his consulting firm, Tagoras. Attendees at the session can expect to learn about the latest trends in online education, how to deliver high impact Webinars and Webcasts, and how to price and position in ways that will maximize registrations.
