World of FreePint Webinars

By Robin Neidorf

Abstract

Robin Neidorf introduces a bumper season of FreePint Webinars and Communities of Practice (CoP). Webinars cover topics from news analysis and validation to the nitty gritty of compliance products. As part of the FreePint Topic Series: Beyond Aggregation, webinars will explore integrating news information into workflow, news awareness and technology, and licensing news for aggregator products. Web-based CoP events offer the opportunity for an interactive dialogue between peers and topic experts on areas from ROI through to tackling enterprise content on mobile devices, and reviewing contracts for news platforms.

After a relatively quiet summer, fans of FreePint Webinars have plenty to look forward to in the coming months. Registration is now open for the following webinars:

• Authoritative Analysis: Because 24/7 News is Too Risky: Join journalist Stephen Foley of the FT and information professional Cynthia Lesky in a lively session on news validation at every step in its production and consumption. Sponsored by the Financial Times.
  
  
• Understanding Compliance Products from the Inside Out: Go beyond how a product performs to learn about the underlying philosophy of the vendor. Three vendors -- Alacra, Bureau van Dijk, and Perfect Information -- provide a "peek under the bonnet" on their processes for building and validating products. This is part of the FreePint Topic Series: Compliance in Context, but it will be of interest to anyone who wants to know more about how vendors develop and test products to respond to market needs.

Coming in November we'll have a session sponsored by Acquire Media on custom integrations of news information into the workflow; a session on approaching news awareness from a technology rather than content perspective; and a session investigating how news content gets licensed for inclusion in aggregator products. All will be part of the FreePint Topic Series: Beyond Aggregation, and if you register your interest in the series then you'll be among the first to know about open registration for those sessions.

FreePint Communities of Practice

We design FreePint Webinars to support your need for professional development without taking half a day or more away from your desk. What we cannot accommodate in the webinar setting, however, is an active environment for multi-way dialogue.

Those come into play in our Communities of Practice (CoP): web-based meetings restricted to 12 participants or fewer. With a smaller group, we enable and facilitate direct interaction between peers and topic experts, on challenges of mutual interest. The discussions are always thought-provoking and manage to combine strategic ideas with practical suggestions.

If your organisation has a Team-level FreePint Subscription or higher, you are welcome to attend any of our CoPs (learn more about subscription levels on our online order form). Watch for registration information on reviewing news platform contracts, piloting programmes to establish ROI, and delivering enterprise content to mobile devices.
