Inside Cisco Webex Events
Let us consider Cisco Webex Events’ various features and how effective they really are.
-
Pre-event planning and promotions
The solution lets you automate email management, with personalisation templates geared for easy customisation. You can also push for revenues by managing online payments via credit cards or PayPal, driving event acceptance with discounts and promotion codes.

In-presentation features
You can use Cisco Webex Events’ high-quality videos to display up to five videos of the presenter and the panellists.
You can also choose to zero-in on a specific panellist while supporting up to 3000 participants in a non-video enabled session and up to 500 in a video-enabled one. There are also virtual private rooms for presenters and panellists to practice their speech; and, of course, there is a wealth of multimedia content for speakers to choose from and enhance their presentations.
The flexible integrated audio comes in three options: toll or toll-free global teleconferencing, two-way VoIP, and audio broadcast. There’s also the option to track and answer incoming questions from the audience, as well as monitoring functionalities to assess audience interest through real-time polls and attention indicator tools.

Post-event follow-up and lead cultivation
Once the event is done, you can share a post-event URL for the attendees to download additional information. There are also post-event surveys and follow-up emailers which you can automatically send out. You could evaluate registration/attendance metrics with customised reports and lead source tracking.
