'Webinars' are often considered to be a cost effective alternative to conferences by event organizers and their clients. Yes, a webinar will drastically reduce costs as you no longer have expenses such as hiring conference halls, hotel rooms, transportation costs but this is not the only benefit of organizing a ‘Webinar’.  Here are few reasons 'why' a webinar is an excellent, effective and cost effective event type:

1. No Travel (organizer): A major problem when organizing conferences is finding 'dates' that is convenient and available for the client and the speakers. By organizing a webinar, you eliminate the need for speakers to clears days of their schedules to fly to the conference destination and give a presentation that is only an hour or two long.  Instead, they simply need to clear a few hours of their time. This is beneficial as you will be able to persuade speakers to speak at your event more easily.
   
   
2. No Travel (delegates): Not everyone has the time to fly to a different country or drive to a different state to attend a conference, no matter how relevant the topic of the conference. By organizing a webinar, you make it more convenient for out of town delegates to take part.
   
   
3. No Hassle: If the webinar attracts a larger audience than expected, you don't need to turn away interested delegates or look for a bigger venue, one of the key benefits of organizing a webinar is that you can allow as many interested parties to sign up for the webinar without any hassles and incurring any more cost. Once you have the technology in place, the cost does not fluctuate, much.
   
   
4. Global & Cost Effective: Not everyone can afford to attend a conference because of monetary reasons or lack of time. These reasons often become a barrier to your attendance numbers and earning potential. By choosing to organize a webinar, you reduce the overhead costs, thus, reducing the fee cost and making the webinar affordable to a wider audience.

Warning: There are few questions, you should ask before deciding on 'Webinar' as your event option. The first question you need to ask is your target audience computer literate. In today's day and age, it is easy to assume that everyone is computer literate. This assumption is false as there are many from senior citizens to those residing in small villages in third world countries who are uncomfortable using technology to never seen a computer, forget traverse the internet respectively. If your audience isn't comfortable using a PC and the internet then this event type is not right for you. The second question is what is the purpose of organizing the webinar? If you wish to share information and conduct discussions etc., this is a perfect medium. If tactile participation is required, you are better off organizing a conference, as it will offer you a higher level of interaction.
