Webinars
Welcome to ASIS&T Webinars, your source for online live and on-demand content, created by the Association for Information Science & Technology. Our webinars connect you with experts and global thought leaders in information science, management, and business on relevant professional issues.
If you or your group are interested in presenting an ASIS&T Webinar, please submit the form. All webinars that cover topics deemed to be of interest to the ASIS&T membership and related communities will be considered. Once approved, the hosts/presenters will be contacted by ASIS&T staff who will coordinate and staff the webinar. Once the webinar is set up, ASIS&T will email the webinar event page for promotion to you (and the presenters). ASIS&T will also process webinar registrations and payments. After someone registers, they will be sent a unique web address to use to join on the date and time of the webinar. A tech check will be scheduled one or two days in advance of the actual webinar. On the day of the webinar, ASIS&T staff will contact the moderator and speaker(s) 15 minutes ahead of the scheduled time to prepare to go live. Registrants will use their computers to view the presentation and will have an opportunity to type questions to the speaker at the end of their presentation. Within 24-hours of the conclusion of the webinar, registrants will be emailed a copy of the recorded webinar. The recording and a copy of the slides will be posted within iConnect, in the Past ASIS&T Webinars library. Login to iConnect to view all of the archived ASIS&T webinars. If you have any questions or comments, please contact us.
All webinars hosted by ASIS&T will be free to current ASIS&T professional, student, and retired members. Non-members and ASIS&T Community Only Members will be charged a small fee of $25. The rationale for this policy is to ensure that members realize the value of their dues through free access to a product that would otherwise cost them an additional expense.
Revenue from the first five paid registrations is kept by ASIS&T to cover administrative costs. Any additional revenue is paid to the community.
Webinar Platform
ASIS&T uses Zoom Webinar to deliver webinars hosted and presented by our SIGs, Chapters, and other stakeholders.
If you would like to propose a webinar, please complete the Webinar Proposal form.
