When you can’t attend an industry event to sharpen your skills or smarts for one reason or another, webinars can be second best. We all became well acquainted with them during the peak of the pandemic, whether we liked it or not. But now that the climate is changing, are webinars still important and necessary? Absolutely! It is so easy to attend a webinar – most of the time attendees learn just as much as they would at an in-person workshop or conference, but without paying travel costs. Webinars are also a great way to explore a topic that might not be worth your company’s expense to send you to a conference, but could be worth an hour of time at your desk for free or for a nominal fee.
The manufacturing cleaning community offers a plethora of resources for informative webinars presented by cleaning OEMs and other industry educators. For instance, our Manufacturing Cleaning Association hosts monthly webinars for members and for nonmembers for a small fee. So far, topics have included, “Single Chamber Washers,” “Aqueous Cleaning 101,” “Technical Cleanliness by the ISO 16232 Standard,” “Precision Degreasing of Aerospace Parts” and others. MCA members can find archived webinars on the website. I urge nonmembers to consider membership for this all-access benefit and much more. Go to manufacturingcleaning.org for more information.
Also, the Product Quality Cleaning Workshop through Sam Houston State University offers a webinar series that can be watched on-demand. The website includes links to more than 10 webinars with subjects running the gambit from how to clean medical devices to overcoming the challenges of cleaning aluminum, the cyclic nucleation process and EPA regulations. Visit the website to register for upcoming webinars as well.
Perusing social media is another way to discover webinars. On their LinkedIn profile pages, for example, most cleaning suppliers and industry organizations advertise their future webinars in their posts. Take advantage of the convenience of a fast click on these links to register.
