2. Educational webinars are one of the best ways to
engage a target audience, generate new leads, and
move prospects through your sales funnel.
This is your chance to be an educator, build your
company brand, and collect market intelligence all
from the convenience of your office!
4. Event Planning
To kick things off we host a strategy session or
two with your team. By the end of these
meetings we will have a specific topic, target
event dates, potential guest speakers, and will
have discussed how content should be
presented to ensure the greatest impact on
your audience.
After these sessions InsideScientific delivers a
project plan listing all crucial actions and
completion dates.
5. Content Formatting
As part of our service we help craft your
presentation.
To get things started, your staff members and
guest speakers submit rough copy content to
our team. Following, InsideScientific brings
together content from all presenters and
formats a final presentation that embodies
your desired style and corporate brand.
6. Marketing
Simply put… InsideScientific handles all
marketing initiatives.
First, your event is posted to our website.
Then we create an email marketing campaign
dedicated to your webinar and ‘narrow-cast’
to your target market. In addition, we
leverage online channels to promote your
event and spread the word through specific
scientific networks.
7. Online Hosting
Many details go in to hosting and running a
smooth and seamless webinar.
Conveniently, InsideScientific takes care of all
of these details for you and your guest
speakers, including tech-checks for all
presenters and multiple practice runs prior to
your event. All registration logistics and
technical considerations are handled by our
team, and your event will be professionally
moderated by one of our staff.
8. Content Follow Up
Following your event we process your slides and
webinar recording. This content is then hosted
to your own “past-event” page on
insidescientific.com.
Next we follow up with all webinar registrants
providing access to your resources and update
social channels so content can be accessed “on-
demand”. Note: options are available to
continue lead information retrieval from “on-
demand” viewers.
9. Review
Post event you receive an ‘Event Report’,
including registrant contact details, market
intelligence data and event statistics. Data is
presented in consumable packets so your team
can review and start follow-up actions quickly.
For those in an annual campaign we offer
custom formatting for CRM integration and
tailored lead-tracking options. Event service
closes with a client debrief.

13. Educational webinars with a technical focus are a special
type of virtual event – they are not your run-of-the-mill
online meeting!
It is our belief that successful scientific webinars require
special attention be given to content, the way it is
prepared and delivered, and how the event is marketed.
Fortunately, we have this down to a science.
14. Common Webinar Types
Case Study
This type of webinar is very similar
to the type of presentation a
scientist would give at a
conference. It typically involves 1
or 2 guest speakers showing how
a particular product enabled them
to discover something of value in
their research. The main focuses
of the webinar are the scientific
findings and how your product
enabled these discoveries.
Methods
This type of webinar is effectively
a how-to-guide. It typically
involves one guest speaker
showing how a particular scientific
measurement, or combination of
techniques, are successfully
performed in the lab. The main
focuses of the webinar are best-
practices, potential pitfalls, how to
generate reliable data, and how to
analyze and interpret findings.
Innovation
This type of webinar is for product
launches and new ground-
breaking applications. It typically
involves a technical expert who
can speak on the technology and
a scientist who can share
preliminary findings and describe
the novel technique that has been
validated. The main focus of the
webinar is how this innovation will
advance scientific discovery.
15. Common Webinar Formats
The “Traditional”
As the name suggests, this is a
traditional format that also tends
to be the most common used.
The event is typically 1 hr in
length and structured as follows:
• Welcome and Introduction
• Audience Polling
• Presentation 1 (~15-20 min)
• Audience Polling
• Presentation 2 (~15-20 min)
• Q&A Session with all speakers
The “Flip-Webinar”
This format involves gathering
questions during registration which
are then used to drive the webinar
content. Presenters prepare slides
to answer specific questions.
• Welcome and Introduction
• Audience Polling
• Q&A Session 1 (~15-20 min)
• Audience Polling
• Q&A Session 2 (~15-20 min)
• Closing Remarks
The “Round Table”
Again, questions are gathered
during registration and determine
the focus. However, the session is
more fluid, involving 4-6 experts
sharing thoughts and opinions.
• Welcome and Introduction
• Audience Polling
• Round-Table 1 (~15-20 min)
• Audience Polling
• Round-Table 2 (~15-20 min)
• Closing Remarks
16. Campaigns vs. Individual Webinars
Planning a single webinar, whether independent or part of one of our webinar
series, is a great place to start. However, we believe that a webinar campaign
including a number of educational events over the course of a year should be
the ultimate goal for any company.
An annual campaign dedicated to your brand will increase exposure and
present the greatest opportunity for lead generation, lead nurturing, and
thought leadership. Furthermore, it puts InsideScientific working as an
extension of your team around-the-clock.

19. Data Sciences International (DSI)
As a recognized leader in physiologic monitoring, DSI offers telemetry, instrumentation,
software, and services to advance science. In particular, DSI is well known for multi-
parameter monitoring, including sensing solutions that offer continuous, real-time
measurements of physiologic endpoints.
The concept of continuous, real-time monitoring versus scheduled
sampling or other forms of wireless data packaging applies to a
variety of DSI products; clearly, the option to have real-time and
complete data streams influences the scientific possibilities that can
be considered when identifying the potential end-points required by
scientists. Therefore, DSI set out to host a webinar on the topic of
continuous, real-time physiologic monitoring with InsideScientific.
20. Webinar Objectives
1. review the differences between continuous,
real-time monitoring and alternate wireless
data collection methods
2. explain how continuous, real-time data for
certain scientific applications is not only
preferred but essential
3. collect market intelligence from a broad
audience regarding their current or planned
telemetry research applications, including
animal models studied, types of signals
monitored, and technology requirements

22. IonOptix
IonOptix has been making quality ratiometric fluorescence and cell dimensioning data
acquisition systems for life science researchers since 1990. They are well known for their
calcium and contractility systems, and have recently introduced new equipment including
FluorPlex – a highspeed ratiometric multi-bath tissue fluorometry system – and
MyoStretcher – a force measurement system to attach, stretch, and load single muscle
cells to study physiologic and functional properties.
It is the latter system that IonOptix decided was best suited for a
project with InsideScientific, whereby an educational webinar would
play a central role in generating awareness regarding their new
technology and showing researchers specifically how they could use
the MyoStretcher in a variety of single cell research applications.
23. Webinar Objectives
1. Introduce the system including MyoTak
adhesive, showing what is unique and novel
about the equipment and techniques.
2. Review how to attach, load, and stretch single
cell samples, specifically ventricular myocytes.
Use picture and video to demonstrate the
process including the use of MyoTak.
3. Review interesting examples of single cell
force measurements – specifically, how to
create force-length loops and relate these
measurements to cardiovascular dysfunction
