Could the use of webinars be a solution to budget cut in delivering CPD activies

Continuous Professional Program initiatives can cost a lot of money when they are to be done in a traditional way. The cost of meeting venue, meals, transport for participants etc. can be high and might not always be afforded especially when may parts of the world are going through financial crisis...

Luckily, internet or technology can give us a solution, which, even though might not match the traditional ways of meeting, could at least be a far better alternative. I am talking about the use of we-conferencing, the modern one, by now known as webinars, where participants can make use of platforms such as Zoom or Adobe Connect to meet virtually.
