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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

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!
Webinar Types
Case Study Webinars
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 Webinars
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 Webinars
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.
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
Webinar Case Studies
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.
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

Data Sciences International (DSI) – Case Study 2014
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.
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
