CBP issued an email notification yesterday about the launch of free webinar. One of them ISF/”10+2” Webinar for East Coast Small to Medium Sized Importers/Brokers is already filled up. Another, CBP Outbound Issues Webinar, still has spaces available.
Webinars have attained gaining popularity in the trade community. Citrix, with its “gotowebinar” and “gotomeetings” products seemingly dominating the market. While Citrix is offering various service levels, the most sophisticated version allows only 1000 people to attend (see http://www.gotomeeting.com/fec/webinar/gotowebinar_pricing). This is very limited space, considering CBP’s nationwide reach (and possibly worldwide interest).
Updtate to the comment posted yersterday, CBP states the limit is only 500 people: “There is a 500 attendee limit per webinar.” Very unbalanced supply and demand curve!
