With roughly one week<\/span> to go before the big day, it\u2019s time to host your second webinar dry run. <\/span>This dry run can take upward of two hours.<\/h4>\nBased on the first rehearsal of your webinar\u00a0presentation<\/strong><\/a><\/span>, you’ve hopefully built out your webinar storyboard. \u00a0 Storyboarding includes:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n- Drafting and dry running through your initial slide deck<\/span><\/strong><\/li>\n
- Building the Lobby and the room layouts to go along with your\u00a0slides<\/span><\/strong><\/li>\n

<\/a><\/p>\nWith these tasks complete, it’s time to tackle the entirety of the webinar presentation!<\/strong><\/h3>\nFrom start to finish, dry run through every aspect of your webinar presentation succinctly.\u00a0<\/strong> And that\u2019s on top of a few other tasks you need to complete.\u00a0 That\u2019s a lot to get through in an hour or so.<\/p>\nAs you might imagine, being organized during this second webinar dry run is critical.\u00a0 The key for that organization is a solid agenda.<\/strong><\/p>\nTo help you maximize the success of your session, we\u2019ve pulled together all the discussion points you will need for your second webinar dry run.\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\nHow to use\u00a0this 2nd Dry Run Agenda<\/span><\/h2>\nThese agenda points were chosen for a very specific reason.\u00a0 I\u2019m going to take you through each point to expose the value and purpose.<\/p>\n
#1. Review Updated Slide Deck<\/span><\/h3>\nAt this stage, you should have 90% of your slide deck\u2019s text and formatting complete.\u00a0<\/strong> Review each slide to make sure the text supply an appropriate amount of information.\u00a0 You can\u2019t have a true dry run until you\u2019re satisfied with the info your speaker will present.<\/p>\nDon\u2019t take more than 10 minutes to review.\u00a0 As they say, you have bigger fish to fry during this second dry run.<\/p>\n
Take this time to evaluate the coherency of the webinar.\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n- Do the transitions make sense?<\/span><\/strong><\/li>\n
- Are the discussion points cohesive with the larger presentation?<\/span><\/strong><\/li>\n
- Are you doing enough to drive audience engagement in relation to your discussion sections?<\/span><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

<\/a><\/h3>\n<\/h3>\n<\/h3>\n#2. Dry Run Through Materials and Update Layouts<\/span><\/h3>\nAfter you\u2019ve tackled your slide deck, you\u2019ll need to dry run through your materials.\u00a0 Focus on the Layouts you\u2019ve developed. \u00a0Each Layout should serve to maximize the value of the information being delivered.\u00a0 <\/strong>Consequently, if your slides have changed at all, you\u2019ll need to reevaluate your Layouts.<\/p>\nAlthough it is easy to cram your Adobe Connect Layouts full of engaging chats and polls, it\u2019s best to let the content guide you. \u00a0Get our worksheet \u201cDIY Adobe Connect Layout Design \u2013 Creating Winning Layouts<\/span><\/strong>.<\/a>\u201d\u00a0 We\u2019ll help you develop an eye for design.<\/strong><\/p>\n
\n<\/h3>\n#3. Select & Enable Audio Preferences for Participants![\"Webinar](\"https:\/\/www.meetingone.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Recording-image-300x227.png\")
<\/span><\/h3>\nSelecting the right audio options for your webinar is essential\u2014but often overlooked.\u00a0<\/strong> Most webinar platforms come with VoIP.\u00a0 But there are alternative options to VoIP, such as integrated audio, that provide better call quality.<\/p>\nEvaluate your audio options!\u00a0 Get more information by checking out our \u201c<\/strong>Audio Options Checklist<\/strong><\/a><\/span>.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\nAs a best practice, enable both VoIP and your selected audio preference in your room.\u00a0<\/strong> This ensures that all your attendees will have no issue hearing your webinar.<\/p>\nIf you\u2019re thinking you want to integrate audio, learn how easy the process can be with our blog, \u201cSetting Up MeetingOne Audio Integration for Adobe Connect in 3 Simple Steps<\/a><\/span><\/strong>.\u201d<\/p>\n
\n#4. Set Up \u201cPlace Participants on Hold\u201d Message<\/span><\/h3>\n![\"safeguard](\"https:\/\/www.meetingone.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Webinar-Dry-Run-2-Hold-Message-2.png\")
Be aware that people will log into your webinar as early as two to three days before the event.<\/strong>\u00a0 (Don\u2019t ask me why\u2026)\u00a0 If they have the URL, they have the means to look in on your virtual room.<\/p>\nThe last thing you want is someone to see your virtual room before the day of the event.\u00a0<\/strong> There may be final modifications you need to make, and if nothing else, you wouldn\u2019t want to have them thinking the event is already taking place\u2026and be utterly confused (or bored!).<\/p>\nTo help avoid this issue, you will want to manage your virtual room settings to keep people from joining early.\u00a0<\/strong> Doing so a week before the webinar is advisable, as it gives you plenty of time to secure the room before anyone tests the URL.\u00a0 When you add the setting, make sure to include a message.<\/p>\nAdobe Connect makes it easy to set up a message.\u00a0<\/strong> From within your virtual room, you click on the Meeting Tab at the top.\u00a0 Track down and hover over \u201cManage Access & Entry.\u201d\u00a0 A new list will appear.\u00a0 Go to \u201cPlace Participants on Hold.\u201d This option will provide you a text box where you can put your message.\u00a0 Once you save the message, you\u2019ll have to go back in and click \u201cOkay.\u201d\u00a0 Until you start your webinar, everyone but your speaker and hosts will be on hold.<\/p>\n![\"webinar](\"https:\/\/www.meetingone.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Webinar-Dry-Run-2-Hold-Message-3-300x197.png\")
In your message, include the following:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n- The day, date and time of your webinar (don\u2019t forget to include the Time Zone)<\/span><\/strong><\/li>\n
- The full name of the webinar<\/span><\/strong><\/li>\n
- A friendly note to your participants thanking them for their interest in attending<\/span><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\n#5. Review Takeaway Draft and Discuss Edits Needed<\/span><\/h3>\nWith your webinar takeaway crafted before this dry run, take ten\u00a0minutes or so to discuss any edits that may still be needed.<\/strong><\/p>\nWhile you evaluate your takeaway, keep these questions in mind:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n- Does your takeaway truly capture the purpose of your webinar?<\/span><\/strong><\/li>\n
- Are the tone and voice consistent with the webinar?<\/span><\/strong><\/li>\n
- Are the images congruent?<\/span><\/strong><\/li>\n
- Does your takeaway provide added value to the webinar’s message?<\/strong><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\n#6. Finish with a Full Dry Run<\/span><\/h3>\nA full dry run should come last on your agenda.\u00a0<\/strong> ![\"webinar](\"https:\/\/www.meetingone.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Webinar-Agenda-Blog-Image-6-300x217.jpg\")
It\u2019s impractical to dry run through the entire webinar presentation if you\u2019re not content with how your information is being portrayed.\u00a0 Also, revisiting your slides and layouts will help your speaker keep track of the places where they want to add emphasis or open things up for discussion.<\/p>\nTake note of the places where the content seems dull, interactive pods can be added, or graphics may need to be modified.\u00a0 These records will provide you the information you need to make final revisions to your webinar presentation.<\/p>\n
\nPreparing for the Next Webinar Dry Run<\/span><\/h2>\nThere\u2019s always more work to do when readying a webinar. \u00a0It’s at this stage you need to start planning for the technical preparations of your webinar. \u00a0 \u00a0You may\u00a0want to evaluate webinar production services\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/a>available to you. \u00a0Allowing a\u00a0certified producer who understands the webinar platform to manage the logistics of your webinar,<\/span>\u00a0may prove to be a tremendous benefit.<\/p>\nBefore you hold your third and final dry run, make sure you\u2019ve completed the following related tasks:<\/p>\n
\u2022 \u00a0Finalize Your Slide Deck<\/span><\/h3>\nThe feedback you received during your webinar dry run should be enough to make final revisions to your slide deck.<\/strong>\u00a0 Revise based on the conversation you had with your speaker.<\/p>\nMake sure your formatting is consistent, images are abundant throughout the presentation, and the text styles are the same.<\/p>\n
\n<\/h3>\n\u2022 \u00a0Complete the Webinar Takeaway<\/span><\/h3>\nYou\u2019ve received notes for the webinar takeaway, now change as needed.<\/strong>\u00a0 Make sure you\u2019re incorporating images or illustrations that relate to the webinar and are customized to reflect your business.\u00a0 Design your own illustrations, or go with unique pictures.<\/p>\nWhatever you do, don\u2019t go with stock images.\u00a0<\/strong> There\u2019s a reason they decided to call their business Death to Stock<\/em><\/a><\/span><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

- Drafting and dry running through your initial slide deck<\/span><\/strong><\/li>\n

- Creating an Event Takeaway draft<\/span><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
<\/a><\/p>\nWith these tasks complete, it’s time to tackle the entirety of the webinar presentation!<\/strong><\/h3>\n
From start to finish, dry run through every aspect of your webinar presentation succinctly.\u00a0<\/strong> And that\u2019s on top of a few other tasks you need to complete.\u00a0 That\u2019s a lot to get through in an hour or so.<\/p>\n
As you might imagine, being organized during this second webinar dry run is critical.\u00a0 The key for that organization is a solid agenda.<\/strong><\/p>\n
To help you maximize the success of your session, we\u2019ve pulled together all the discussion points you will need for your second webinar dry run.\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
\nYour Webinar Presentation gets Tuned up:<\/span><\/h2>\n
Webinar Dry Run Agenda #2<\/span><\/h2>\n
Here is our\u00a0overview agenda you can copy into your meeting invite.<\/span> Theses steps are explained in more detail below!<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n
- \n
- Briefly review<\/strong>\u00a0updated slide deck<\/li>\n
- Dry run<\/strong>\u00a0through materials & update layouts as needed<\/li>\n
- Finish with a full dry run<\/strong>, minimally pausing.<\/li>\n
- Select & enable audio preferences<\/strong> for participants, including VoIP & Integrated Audio<\/li>\n
- Set up \u201cPlace Participants on Hold\u201d<\/strong> with message about when the webinar will begin<\/li>\n
- Review takeaway<\/strong>\u00a0draft<\/strong> & discuss\u00a0edits needed for next phase<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
<\/a><\/p>\nHow to use\u00a0this 2nd Dry Run Agenda<\/span><\/h2>\n
These agenda points were chosen for a very specific reason.\u00a0 I\u2019m going to take you through each point to expose the value and purpose.<\/p>\n
#1. Review Updated Slide Deck<\/span><\/h3>\n
At this stage, you should have 90% of your slide deck\u2019s text and formatting complete.\u00a0<\/strong> Review each slide to make sure the text supply an appropriate amount of information.\u00a0 You can\u2019t have a true dry run until you\u2019re satisfied with the info your speaker will present.<\/p>\n
Don\u2019t take more than 10 minutes to review.\u00a0 As they say, you have bigger fish to fry during this second dry run.<\/p>\n
Take this time to evaluate the coherency of the webinar.\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
- \n
- Do the transitions make sense?<\/span><\/strong><\/li>\n
- Are the discussion points cohesive with the larger presentation?<\/span><\/strong><\/li>\n
- Are you doing enough to drive audience engagement in relation to your discussion sections?<\/span><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\n<\/a><\/h3>\n<\/h3>\n
<\/h3>\n
#2. Dry Run Through Materials and Update Layouts<\/span><\/h3>\n
After you\u2019ve tackled your slide deck, you\u2019ll need to dry run through your materials.\u00a0 Focus on the Layouts you\u2019ve developed. \u00a0Each Layout should serve to maximize the value of the information being delivered.\u00a0 <\/strong>Consequently, if your slides have changed at all, you\u2019ll need to reevaluate your Layouts.<\/p>\n
Although it is easy to cram your Adobe Connect Layouts full of engaging chats and polls, it\u2019s best to let the content guide you. \u00a0Get our worksheet \u201cDIY Adobe Connect Layout Design \u2013 Creating Winning Layouts<\/span><\/strong>.<\/a>\u201d\u00a0 We\u2019ll help you develop an eye for design.<\/strong><\/p>\n
\n<\/h3>\n
#3. Select & Enable Audio Preferences for Participants
<\/span><\/h3>\nSelecting the right audio options for your webinar is essential\u2014but often overlooked.\u00a0<\/strong> Most webinar platforms come with VoIP.\u00a0 But there are alternative options to VoIP, such as integrated audio, that provide better call quality.<\/p>\n
Evaluate your audio options!\u00a0 Get more information by checking out our \u201c<\/strong>Audio Options Checklist<\/strong><\/a><\/span>.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n
As a best practice, enable both VoIP and your selected audio preference in your room.\u00a0<\/strong> This ensures that all your attendees will have no issue hearing your webinar.<\/p>\n
If you\u2019re thinking you want to integrate audio, learn how easy the process can be with our blog, \u201cSetting Up MeetingOne Audio Integration for Adobe Connect in 3 Simple Steps<\/a><\/span><\/strong>.\u201d<\/p>\n
\n#4. Set Up \u201cPlace Participants on Hold\u201d Message<\/span><\/h3>\n
Be aware that people will log into your webinar as early as two to three days before the event.<\/strong>\u00a0 (Don\u2019t ask me why\u2026)\u00a0 If they have the URL, they have the means to look in on your virtual room.<\/p>\nThe last thing you want is someone to see your virtual room before the day of the event.\u00a0<\/strong> There may be final modifications you need to make, and if nothing else, you wouldn\u2019t want to have them thinking the event is already taking place\u2026and be utterly confused (or bored!).<\/p>\n
To help avoid this issue, you will want to manage your virtual room settings to keep people from joining early.\u00a0<\/strong> Doing so a week before the webinar is advisable, as it gives you plenty of time to secure the room before anyone tests the URL.\u00a0 When you add the setting, make sure to include a message.<\/p>\n
Adobe Connect makes it easy to set up a message.\u00a0<\/strong> From within your virtual room, you click on the Meeting Tab at the top.\u00a0 Track down and hover over \u201cManage Access & Entry.\u201d\u00a0 A new list will appear.\u00a0 Go to \u201cPlace Participants on Hold.\u201d This option will provide you a text box where you can put your message.\u00a0 Once you save the message, you\u2019ll have to go back in and click \u201cOkay.\u201d\u00a0 Until you start your webinar, everyone but your speaker and hosts will be on hold.<\/p>\n
In your message, include the following:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n- \n
- The day, date and time of your webinar (don\u2019t forget to include the Time Zone)<\/span><\/strong><\/li>\n
- The full name of the webinar<\/span><\/strong><\/li>\n
- A friendly note to your participants thanking them for their interest in attending<\/span><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\n#5. Review Takeaway Draft and Discuss Edits Needed<\/span><\/h3>\n
With your webinar takeaway crafted before this dry run, take ten\u00a0minutes or so to discuss any edits that may still be needed.<\/strong><\/p>\n
While you evaluate your takeaway, keep these questions in mind:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
- \n
- Does your takeaway truly capture the purpose of your webinar?<\/span><\/strong><\/li>\n
- Are the tone and voice consistent with the webinar?<\/span><\/strong><\/li>\n
- Are the images congruent?<\/span><\/strong><\/li>\n
- Does your takeaway provide added value to the webinar’s message?<\/strong><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\n#6. Finish with a Full Dry Run<\/span><\/h3>\n
A full dry run should come last on your agenda.\u00a0<\/strong>
It\u2019s impractical to dry run through the entire webinar presentation if you\u2019re not content with how your information is being portrayed.\u00a0 Also, revisiting your slides and layouts will help your speaker keep track of the places where they want to add emphasis or open things up for discussion.<\/p>\nTake note of the places where the content seems dull, interactive pods can be added, or graphics may need to be modified.\u00a0 These records will provide you the information you need to make final revisions to your webinar presentation.<\/p>\n
\nPreparing for the Next Webinar Dry Run<\/span><\/h2>\n
There\u2019s always more work to do when readying a webinar. \u00a0It’s at this stage you need to start planning for the technical preparations of your webinar. \u00a0 \u00a0You may\u00a0want to evaluate webinar production services\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/a>available to you. \u00a0Allowing a\u00a0certified producer who understands the webinar platform to manage the logistics of your webinar,<\/span>\u00a0may prove to be a tremendous benefit.<\/p>\n
Before you hold your third and final dry run, make sure you\u2019ve completed the following related tasks:<\/p>\n
\u2022 \u00a0Finalize Your Slide Deck<\/span><\/h3>\n
The feedback you received during your webinar dry run should be enough to make final revisions to your slide deck.<\/strong>\u00a0 Revise based on the conversation you had with your speaker.<\/p>\n
Make sure your formatting is consistent, images are abundant throughout the presentation, and the text styles are the same.<\/p>\n
\n<\/h3>\n
\u2022 \u00a0Complete the Webinar Takeaway<\/span><\/h3>\n
You\u2019ve received notes for the webinar takeaway, now change as needed.<\/strong>\u00a0 Make sure you\u2019re incorporating images or illustrations that relate to the webinar and are customized to reflect your business.\u00a0 Design your own illustrations, or go with unique pictures.<\/p>\n
Whatever you do, don\u2019t go with stock images.\u00a0<\/strong> There\u2019s a reason they decided to call their business Death to Stock<\/em><\/a><\/span><\/strong>.<\/p>\n
