How many attendees can EventCentre accommodate?
EventCentre is developed based on a highly scalable platform. EventCentre can accommodate up to 3000 concurrent attendees in a single webinar for document sharing. When application sharing is used in an event, the recommended event size is 1000 concurrent attendees.
-
What do I need to attend web seminars on Microsoft Windows?
To attend events on Microsoft Windows, you need:
- Windows 98, NT, 2000, XP, 2K3 (Windows 2003 Server)
- Intel or AMD Processor 400MHZ
- 128 MB RAM
- Microsoft Internet Explorer 6, Mozilla 1.4 or later, Firefox 1.0 or Netscape 7.0

-
What are public, private and unlisted events?
When scheduling an event, you can specify the event to be public, private or unlisted.
- Public event—appears on the Upcoming Events page and the Recorded Events page, if the event host makes the recording public. On the Upcoming Events page, an Enroll button appears for the event until the host starts the event.
- Private event—appears on the Upcoming Events page and the Recorded Events page, if the event host makes the recording public. On the Upcoming Events page, the text Private appears instead of an Enroll button. Once the time is within 15 minutes of the event's scheduled starting time, and the host starts the event, a Join button appears.
- Unlisted event—does not appear on the Upcoming Events page. However, it appears on the Recorded Events page if the event host makes the recording public.
-
How do I customise the email messages for event invitees, enrollees and attendees?
When scheduling an event, you can customise any of the email messages that EventCentre sends to event invitees, enrollees and attendees.
First, on the Schedule an Event page, select the check box for the email messages that you want to send:
- Enrollment Pending
- Enrollment Approved
- Enrollment Rejected
- Reminder
- Thank You for Attending
- Absentee Follow-up
Next, click the link for the email message to open the Edit Email Message window.
When customising the content of an email message, you can use several variables, which EventCentre automatically replaces with information about the event when sending the message. For example, you can use the variable %Topic%, which EventCentre automatically replaces with the event name specified on the Schedule an Event page. You can also restore an email template by clicking the Restore to Default button.
Please note that invitation emails will not be sent automatically to invited panelists and invitees.
