What is Web Conferencing?

Web conferencing allows multiple meeting participants to communicate with each other live over the Internet. Participants meet in a dedicated online conference center where they are able to share audio, video and files in real time. With web conferencing, you and your group can be located down the hall or around the world and still accomplish common goals without travel, expense, or technical hurdles.

Participants in an IEEE web conference rely on easy to use, premiere industry technologies to share documents, presentations, designs and ideas, give web tours, and demos, provide training, offer technical support, and host other interactive events.
