Benefits of Webinars

 

Thousands of busy professionals are using webinars as a great way to keep up to date with changes in their fields, and learn valuable insights that boost their performance.  Now WPRA has produced a number of webinars that are available to park, natural resource, recreation, aquatic and therapeutic recreation professionals in Wisconsin and around the nation.

Why webinars/audio conferences? Webinars are everything a live conference is not.

 

They're fast:  No wasted time here. Our 75-minute sessions are easy to fit into your busy schedule. No waiting around between conference sessions.

 

They're convenient:  No airlines. No overnights. No hotels. No travel. And best of all - no lost time out of the office. Simply download the materials from the Web and listen from your headset, or at your desk telephone.

 

They're for the whole team:  Webinars can be used to train the whole team. A Group registration and a speakerphone lets your whole staff listen in.  *Please note that CEU’s will to all attendees if you choose the group registration plan.  ~ A CEU registration form must be filled out by the "site supervisor"

 

They're easy:  A telephone (or your computer speakers) and computer are all the equipment you need. Just dial into the number we provide you after you register and enter the access code. That's it.  

 

They're targeted: Our audio conferences focus on one topic of key interest and deliver actionable take-ways you can apply right away. 

 

They're interactive: Have your questions answered by leading experts in the field.

 

They pay for themselves: Our audio conferences provide money-saving, impactful tactics that you can start using when you hang up the phone.
