New Wave of Presentation Delivery – Web Seminars

Yesterday, I delivered a web seminar for WindowsITPro (sponsored by Microsoft) about RS 2005. I have to admit that I really enjoy it. I got more than 340 attendees. This broke my previous of record of 300 for my RS presentation at TechEd Europe 2004. The best thing about a web seminar is that you do it from the comfort of your house or office. No travel, hassle, and travel expenses. No cell phones and other annoying sound effects. Enjoy the silence! The questions get logged in an orderly fashion, so you could preview them before you answer (or don’t :-)). You can do polls too. What could be better?

The only negative thing about this particular seminar is that I was restricted to static content only and I couldn’t share my desktop for live demos. This was a limitation of the technology WindowsITPro is using, of course. Microsoft Live Meeting is perfectly capable of desktop sharing.

I hope the web seminars will catch up and I can do more of them in future. You can find the slides and demos of my Reporting Services 2005 Tips and Tricks web seminar here.

See you soon in cyberspace!
