"Kari and I want to let you know how valuable we find the Webinar sessions. Steve organizes them very well and offers a good amount of information. Each time, we have learned something useful we can use right away and have been inspired to try to follow up with other features."

--Kathleen Gray, Librarian

Eloquent users meet several times a year for one-hour conferences by phone as they watch presentations by Eloquent on their Internet browser. They cover exciting new features, as well as how to take advantage of others that they did not have time to learn when the software was first installed. During the interactive presentation, they also learn the innovative ways others have used the software.

This Webinar is free if you are the primary Eloquent contact person for your organization. Otherwise, you are invited to join along with your primary contact. All you need is a speaker phone and Internet-enabled computer. If you are meeting as a group you may want to stay together after the seminar to review the topics as they relate to your specific application.

If you are interested in attending one of our Webinars, please register for a Webinar via e-mail and the login details will be sent to you.
