WEBCAST Q & A

How does the audience access the Webcast?
The webcast is audio only. On the day of the webcast attendees will click on the link found on ACC's website, complete a brief registration form, and listen to the broadcast.

Will attendees need a speakerphone to communicate with anyone during the presentation?
The only people speaking will be the panelist(s) and the moderator. Attendees will need speakers on their computers and either Real Player or Media Player software. The software can be download for free from the ACC website. Questions for the panelists are sent via email.

Can the moderator be in a separate location from the speaker/panelist?
The speaker and the moderator will be calling into an 800-number so they don't need to be in the same location.

Should the moderator be an in-house counsel?
We suggest that the moderator should be an attorney and an ACC member, given that the target audience is ACC members.

I'm not able to find the right moderator. Would ACC be able to help me secure someone?
Yes.

How do presenters usually structure their webcast and integrate the moderator?
The format can vary. However, most have followed a format of having a 3 to 5 minute introduction, then a 40 to 45 minute presentation, followed by a 10 to 15 minute Q & A.

I notice that your webcasts are usually co-sponsored by one of your committees. Is this necessary?
It is not necessary. If the webcast topic ties in with a committee's mission, we'll suggest that the committee serves as a co-sponsor. In addition to informing the general members about the webcast, ACC will specifically target members of that committee to encourage them to attend the webcast.

How are questions and discussions managed?
Attendees are encouraged to email their questions before or during the webcast to the moderator who will then pose them to the panelist.

How will the webcast be advertised?
Notices of the webcasts are included in ACC's monthly all-member emails, weekly Chapter and Verse newsletter, quarterly committee newsletters, Docket magazine, website, and broadcast emails to specific committees.

What information should I provide to ACC so that it can market my webcast?
ACC will need the following:
Webcast title
Date and time (We suggest that webcasts be held during the week -Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday- and between 12pm and 3pm EST)
Program description (approx. 50 words)
Panelist(s) bio(s)
Moderator bio
Email address to which questions can be sent (usually the moderator's)
This information will be used to create the webcast's webpage. If there is an accompanying power point presentation, checklist, or article, we will need these materials no less than two weeks prior to the webcast. We will take care of the technical end of things and will provide the telephone numbers, etc., to the speakers and moderator before the call.

Are webcast replays available?
Yes. Webcast replays are available within one hour from the end of the original airing and are accessible from ACC's website for a year.
