• The difference between webinars, webcasts, virtual classrooms, and hybrid events
• When you should – and shouldn’t – consider virtual presentations for client engagements
• 3 keys to adapting your program and presentation style to online presentations
• How to avoid the single biggest mistake speakers make
• 5 essential questions to ask the meeting planner so you rock your virtual gig

1. Sign up for a free trial of two services (Suggestions: GoToMeeting, Webex, Adobe Connect, AnyMeeting, ClickMeeting, or Omnovia)
2. Invite a friend to join you for a few minutes. Twice (once each with a different platform)
