In many ways, webinars are designed to mirror standard seminars. People meet at a designated time, and communication takes place based on a defined topic. In other ways, however, webinars are entirely different. Unlike regular seminars, attendees don't have to be at the same physical location. Webinars can also be more tightly controlled, with participants having clear roles and multiple presenters often available to share ideas. Due to the technology involved, it's also possible to share documents, record meetings, and integrate with other software tools.
