The report, for example, points out 39 percent of registrants to webcasts attend live compared to 45 percent of registrants for other online events. Some of those live viewers—10 percent and 16 percent, respectively—even returned to view that same content again on-demand. When it comes to engagement, INXPO’s research found interactivity is king: Sixty-seven percent of attendees generally respond to live polls during webcasts, for example, turning a presentation into a conversation. The data also reinforces consumers’ collective penchant to view content on mobile devices. What does that mean for you?
