GDPR Proof?

The GDPR law is becoming increasingly important and stricter enforced, so you must be sure that your webinar software is fully GDPR proof. It is important that all your data is processed and stored in Europe in accordance with European legislation. Since July 2020, you have been in violation of the GDPR if you work with American companies, such as GoToWebinar.

Downloads result in a lower attendance

Unlike desktop software, web-based apps are accessible anytime, anywhere, as long as you have access to a device with an internet connection. By downloading and running an application, participation in a webinar becomes less accessible. Moreover, it is often not possible to download an application in a secure company network.

WebinarGeek is completely web-based, this ensures that your webinars are easy to use and very accessible for the viewer.
