I am pleased to announce that LPI will host its first series of webcasts
on Wednesday, December 17, 2008. Please see the following link for details:
http://www.lpi.org/eng/about_lpi/upcoming_events/lpi_webcasts
This series of webcasts is intended as a pilot summit to assist our
webcast provider (www.BrightTalk.com) in developing an audience profile
for us. This
audience profile will enable BrightTalk to approach sponsors for similar
webcasts throughout 2009--our 10th Anniversary.
We began promoting this initiative last evening and a full email blast
and invite is now underway to our candidates throughout the world.
Please promote this initiative through your partner channels and in your
respective regions. We will be doing additional email promotions on
Monday in select regions.
The webcasts are live audio sessions with slide presentations and also
include Q&A sessions. A recorded example is included on the link
provided above.
Each of the webcasts on that day will also be recorded for later use.
Included below is a list of the presenters for December 17, 2009. All
of them are well-known to the LPI community. Please show your support
for their efforts by participating in these webcasts.
Many thanks,
scott
