It appeared that your comments were more to get links for SEO reasons than to actually join in the conversation. And the volume of your comments across posts on this blog seemed to indicate the same. Sue, in the future if you share substantive, relevant and useful comments, they will generally appear. If not, they generally won't. Thanks for understanding! -Mac Sue,

I've been a customer of ON24 for about five years, with probably close to 150 events under my belt. They do an excellent job in both the live and on-demand scenarios. We've even gone to them with oddball and custom requests, and they always seem to come up with a solution.

When reviewing the document, it struck me that many of the recommendations are what my company already counsels our customers for their webcast programs. The main difference is how to drive people from a webcast (e.g. keynote/panel) to an exhibitor booth. </p> <p>Rebekah and Mac, regarding the webcasting - I would like to suggest my company as a place to start. I'm curious to learn more about the live being synced but the on-demand not. I haven't heard this being an issue with our customers. ON24's model is SaaS - so no worries about hosting it yourself. </p> <p>If you're interested in learning more Rebekah, feel free to email me at cece [dot] lee [at] on24 [dot] com.</p> Hi Mac, thanks for pointing me to the Best Practices Document (plan to post something on my personal blog soon).

Rebekah and Mac, regarding the webcasting – I would like to suggest my company as a place to start. I’m curious to learn more about the live being synced but the on-demand not. I haven’t heard this being an issue with our customers. ON24′s model is SaaS – so no worries about hosting it yourself.

We're a top sponsor of an in-person event for Sacramento, Calif. tech companies next week and there are major logistics around just getting exposure there. Online-only is sounding appealing.</p> <p>Mac - in your experience what is the best place to serve up the event on demand later? The files are so large that our smaller clients can't host and serve them under their web hosting plans; and in my experience the companies that are great for live webinars have kinks to work out with serving up the slides synched with audio later. Any preferred vendor whom you've found is affordable and great at both?</p> Amy – that’s really useful to know.

It was by far the easiest sponsorship I have ever done. I built my booth online, all my collateral was online and there was less stress for me and the attendees. At most trade shows people are scared to walk to close to a booth for fear of being bombarded by a sales guy. At a virtual show, an attendee can read all of my collateral and white papers without any pressure and ask questions via chat on their own schedule. This helped us to walk away with more leads than we get at most live events. Can't wait to measure the ROI of this event as these leads move through the funnel.</p> We (ReachForce) were a sponsor at the Marketing Profs B2B 2.0 Virtual Expo earlier this month.
