GoTo Webinar

Great news, it was recently announced that GoTo now integrate Interprefy on all their Goto Webinars. Now when you hold a Webinar using the GOTO platform, your audience can request to have the session translated. 

This will enable your webinars to be more inclusive and this provides opportunities to increase your audience participation and awareness.

Whilst it does not cover all of our Federation's countries' native languages, there are many European languages and these will continue to expand.

What does this mean for SISEAP? It means that your webinars can be more inclusive, that you can present a webinar in your native language and the translation service will translate to English or one of the other languages, this provides opportunities to increase your audience participation and awareness.

Please contact Webinar Training Coordinator Sue Latta at meetings@siseap.org for more information or assistance on setting up your next webinar.
