land-line telephone connection or computer with speakers (VOIP) to hear the audio. Webinars are recorded for archival purposes.

information security professionals through virtual professional development webinars that spark learning and discussion. This opportunity will
bring fresh profile to your organization, to your innovative work, and at the same time advance the information security industry as a whole.
How long does the webinar last? InfoGlobal offers 60-minute webinars. For each 60-minute webinar, presenters should prepare

What are the presenter's responsibilities?

Any co-presenters must be secured when you submit a topic idea.

questions will be handled in the presentation, etc.)

Audience Attendance:
This is a relative question as it truly depends on the speaker and the topic. As a benefit to presenters, InfoGlobal strongly promotes and
advertises our webinars (including the presenter’s biography, company descriptor and photo—upon permission) via various channels to a large
group of US-based information professionals. The exposure received is not only gained from presenting the webinar, but also in the widespread
promotion of it. Lastly, InfoGlobal webinars are archived the majority of the time, therefore there is longevity to them.
Evaluation Process:
InfoGlobal cannot guarantee that you or your topic will be chosen for a webinar. Webinars are an opportunity to educate the information
security community, not an opportunity to promote a service/product. Contact information for each speaker must be provided and each
speaker must agree to the Guidelines for Webinar Speakers. Once submitted, your webinar application will be reviewed by InfoGlobal for
consideration. Proposal applications that fail to meet all guidelines or are incomplete will not be considered for review. Submissions will be
evaluated to ultimately develop a high-quality webinar based on the following criteria:
•
Innovation, creativity and originality of topic
•
Clarity, depth and specificity of proposal
•
Timeliness and relevance of subject matter
•
Practical applicability of topic Qualifications, expertise and experience level of presenter(s)
Speakers will be notified of InfoGlobal’s decision regarding proposals in a timely fashion to the best of our ability. InfoGlobal will not accept
phone calls regarding the status of webinars at any time during the selection process.
