1 INTRODUCTION

In the “Task 2.1 Webinars”, included in WP2 ‘Enablers Promotion’ of IMPACT DoW, we described

a series of webinars planned in order to raise awareness directly within developers’ and

entrepreneurs’ communities, universities and other networks reached by partners and project

stakeholders about FIWARE technologies and all the services and products behind it.

So far we have designed four webinars to complement the Hackathons, two were presented

prior to each Open Call.

ISDI, the leader organizer, is responsible for content development and logistics regarding the

webinar organization, with the idea to use our own e-learning platform which has the technical

requirements for the webinars´ organization.

We changed our previous idea, instead of creating a regular webinar where we would be

inviting a specific group of attendees to a temporary webinar session, this time we have

recorded the training capsules and which were available on IMPACT Youtube channel and

were shared via website, emailing and social media within our developers’ and entrepreneurs’

community.

In the following sections we explain the webinars´ final production, dissemination and

awareness reached.

2 WEBINAR APPROACH

For the first two webinars, we used a learning by doing approach, asking our technical leader

and author of the webinars, Marcelo Royán, to better understand the FIWARE technologies

and ecosystem. This approach works well, and we have received good feedback and

congratulations.

After studying the enablers, our technical leader determined that one of the main points to

better understand the FIWARE ecosystem could be gathering and simplifying the current

information into short and well-structured webinars. With that in mind we produce the first

two webinars, released on August 2014.

For the next two webinars, maintaining our learning by doing approach we have produced

more technical and specific webinars. From the release date of the first webinars (August

2014) until now, we have been in contact with FIWARE, their developers, their platform,

organizing hackathons and presenting IMPACT and FIWARE along with some main FIWARE

developers and coders. All this input have further helped to better understand FIWARE and be

updated on current development progress of the main Enablers.

With that in mind we organized and planned the scripts, the graphic materials and the timing,

to finally create two introductory training capsules about FIWARE.

Webinar 3: The goal is to give startups some interesting and first-hand insights about the

usage of Enablers and their integration in their project’s architecture. We’ll see how Enablers

differ from each other, not just in their area and functionality but also in their coverage, their

maturity, and their scope. Then we will go into some detail with some of the most used

Enablers from each area, so that the startup can get a better idea about how they can

structure their FIWARE-based application.

Webinar 4: The goal is to extend the vision of FIWARE Enablers and the added value that their

integration represents. In this webinar we concentrate on the interaction of different Enablers

that fit together in order to allow the startup's application to reach a high degree of features.

We show how startups can use Orion context broker along with a few other prominent

Enablers and interconnect them with the objective to reach valuable features that can help

them develope their application to the next level.

The idea to change the temporary webinar sessions to recorded training capsules always

available on Youtube, turned out to be a great idea, so we applied the same to the next two

webinars. It allows everybody to watch the webinars, no matter when, and in different devices,

following our goal to spread and capitalize the strength of the mobile devices. Moreover these

webinars can be re-used, or embedded in any website, both from other FIWARE accelerators,

FIWARE Team or for the European Commission in any campaign or video material they

consider.

4 WEBINAR FEEDBACK AND MAIN METRICS

In addition to these websites we have also promoted the webinars via e-mailings, social media

channels, and by mentioning them on our events (organized by IMPACT or those we have been

invited to as speakers).

In the Table 1, we have gathered the main metrics about the first four webinars. The KPI (Key

Performance Indicators) selected are:

“Release date”,

“Youtube views”,

“Views from other sources”,

“Total views” and

“Geographical Location” of the viewers.

These metrics will grow slower than they have been so far, but also constantly, because we are

going to keep the videos uploaded on the IMPACT Website and our Youtube channel.

5 CONCLUSION

As commented on the first Webinar report, we planned to deliver the next two webinars as

training capsules, and due to our good results, we will continue applying the same in the

future.

In the following weeks, after completing two important milestones, we expect to have the

social media buzz more concentrated on the webinars, and therefore the number of views of

the will increase.

We are pleased to see the positive feedback and that our webinars are step by step growing in

terms of views.
