I am just about to renew my first year’s subscription to the Adobe Connect web conferencing platform. Adobe Connect is a competitor to Web Ex built on Flash, which is already installed in 97% of browsers. I’ve been using the platform for a year now and find it to be a very cost effective way to do web presentations and training. I have the plan aimed at small business which costs $500 per year. For my renewal, Adobe has upped the number of people I can host in a conference from 15 to 150. I have Adobe Connect linked to a discounted audio conferencing system from Premier Conferencing. It is very simple to schedule a meeting on the platform. All I need to so is fill in a form and the system generates an email to the participants with the log in and call in information.

The platform is elegant and simple to use. It has modules that allow you to capture video from your camera so you can bee seen by a group; I can share any application on my mac; chat with participants; so simple polls.

I use Adobe Connect a couple of times a month to do presentations and demos and people on other end really seem to like it. It has been a great investment for me.
