Hosting a Web Conference at the Isoph Institute

The Isoph Institute's Web conferencing feature gives your organization the ability to easily and affordably offer online seminars, presentations, briefings, and one-to-one technical assistance and training. You may host a Web conference at any time and invite up to 500 participants to attend your conference. Below, you will find information on the features and tools available to you.

To host a conference, you only need to establish an account and pre-purchase at least ten hours of conference time. For each minute a participant is in your meeting, one minute of your purchased time is used. There are no set-up fees or hidden costs and your time will not expire. Our rates are just $.25 cents per user per minute ($15 per user per hour), with discounts for pre-paid purchases of 100 hours or more.
