Fire Alarms vs. Fire Hoses: Keeping Up with Dependencies

Webinar

Think About Your Audience Before Choosing a Webinar Title


Sponsored by whitesource


Thursday, February 20
1pm EST

Today no one can claim ignorance about the need for an open source vulnerability strategy, so what is yours? Are you the fire alarm type, who prefers to sit tight unless a vulnerability alert is ringing in your inbox? Or are you the fire hose type, staying ahead of the game with a never-ending stream of open source updates to apply?

Join Rhys Arkins as he discusses the pros and cons of these two approaches, as well as whether there's a magical middle ground between the two which doesn't involve a fire analogy.

What You’ll Learn in This Webinar

You’ve probably written a hundred abstracts in your day, but have you come up with a template that really seems to resonate? Go back through your past webinar inventory and see what events produced the most registrants. Sure – this will vary by topic but what got their attention initially was the description you wrote.

Paint a mental image of the benefits of attending your webinar. Often times this can be summarized in the title of your event. Your prospects may not even make it to the body of the message, so get your point across immediately.  Capture their attention, pique their interest, and push them towards the desired action (i.e. signing up for your event). You have to make them focus and you have to do it fast. Using an active voice and bullet points is great way to do this.

Always add key takeaways. Something like this....In this session, you’ll learn about:

  • You know you’ve cringed at misspellings and improper grammar before, so don’t get caught making the same mistake.
  • Get a second or even third set of eyes to review your work.
  • It reflects on your professionalism even if it has nothing to do with your event.
