An Event Services Webex Meeting is hosted and managed by a professional Event Producer.

Up to 1,000 attendees may join the webinar by desktop (app or temp.exe) or mobile device (app required). Computer, call-in, and call-me telephone audio options are available, as are video endpoint connections.

This platform is ideal for collaborative, interactive conferences, and includes the option to facilitate small group discussion in Breakout Sessions.

The Webex Meetings platform offers a Breakout Session feature to facilitate small group discussion and collaboration for up to 100 breakout sessions in a single meeting. The distribution of attendees across breakout sessions may be:

Random: Attendees are randomly, evenly split across all breakout sessions

Choice: Attendees select which breakout session to join.

Manual: Attendees are assigned to a breakout session by the Event Producer. You must provide your Event Producer with a list of breakout session names and attendees to assign to each; available for meetings of 100 or less.

Within a breakout session, attendees engage using audio, video and shared content. Certain functionality ability in the general meeting are not available in a breakout session, including captioning, polling, and saving chat. Additionally, breakout sessions are not recorded, and attendees’ participation in specific breakout sessions is not reported.

Organizers will initiate a request on this site. Immediately on submission, an email receipt is generated, containing the ticket number that will follow the event throughout its lifecycle.

Our scheduling staff will respond to the ticket within 48 hours with connection details and other necessary information, including an Event ID and a link to real-time registration reporting, if registration is requested.

Organizers should expect to be contacted by email at least 48 hours prior to the event by the assigned Event Producer. If the event will include polling and/or breakout sessions, information will be requested.

Following the event, attendance, chat, and/or polling reports, as applicable, will be delivered by email from the Event Producer. If requested, recording will be delivered for download via a file transfer application.

Attendance Report FAQ

Attendance reports do not address attendee connections to the main and breakout sessions separately. Rather, an attendee is reported once, encompassing total attendance.

Meetings may be recorded, with content delivered as a file (.mp4 or .wmv), which may be accompanied by a written transcript or .srt (caption) file, or hosted for on-demand replay. Note that Slido polling, if utilized, is not part of the recording.

Only the general or plenary session is recorded, with “dead air” during breakout sessions. You may request editing services if you’d like to have that dead air removed from your recording.

Meeting polling features are flexible and robust. Slido polling supports multiple choice, open text, word cloud, rating, and ranking polls, with summary reporting. Alternatively, native polling functionality offers multiple choice or open text polling with individualized results reporting.

Bring a basic question or two to your private pre-conference and your Event Producer will create them on-the-fly. If your requirements include many or more complex polls, we’ll ask you to provide them at least 24 hours in advance so that your Event Producer can provide the additional service time to prepare them.
