“This category will recognise the team behind a webinar series that has consistently delivered outstanding results,” explained the organisers of the Digital Events Awards. “Judges will be looking at the diversity of content, range of topics and speakers as well as audience numbers for registration and attendance. The series that can demonstrate a high engagement with returning attendees will be highly considered.”

The winner of Best Webinar Series will be unveiled at the virtual awards ceremony, which will take place at 4pm on March 18.
