Webinars FAQ

I want to attend a Financial Poise webinar. What do I do?

The sign up process varies depending on whether or not you are signing up for a webinar Cerifi’s LegalEdge (f/k/a West Legal Ed Center) has co-produced. While you can search all Financial Poise webinars on this website, the actual sign up and payment for webinars co-produced by Cerifi’s LegalEdge are handled by Cerifi’s LegalEdge, which will also arrange for CLE credit if you are an attorney. The sign up process for all other Financial Poise webinars is done from the Financial Poise website. Simply click “Sign up for this webinar” located in an orange box on the left hand side of the description page. You will immediately be brought to the payment screen where you will enter in your name and payment information. Once entered, you will receive two emails. One will be an email receipt of your payment and the other will contain your personalized link to join the webinar you purchased. You will also receive that link by email one day prior to the premiere date. If you do not receive your personalized link, please contact us at [email protected].

How do I pay for a webinar?

You can pay online with a Visa, Mastercard, or Discover. Our online payment processing is done through a secure third-party website. We do not accept checks. If you need assistance in the payment process, please contact us at [email protected].

If I am unable to attend a live webinar, how long do I have to participate in the webinar?

There is no time limit. You do not need to finish a webinar in a single session, and you may return whenever you wish. You may watch the webinar as many times as you wish.

Can I use my iPhone, Blackberry, iPad, or other tablet or mobile device to participate in webinars?

SBAC partnered webinars are not supported on a mobile device. You must use a computer to participate in a webinar. Cerifi’s LegalEdge partnered webinars are accessible with CLE Mobile. CLE Mobile allows attorneys and other professionals to listen to more than 5,000 continuing legal education (CLE) programs on their iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch. Cerifi’s LegalEdge has recreated its online experience with the free CLE Mobile app. All of the regulatory safeguards that states require have been incorporated in the mobile environment. You can learn more about the CLE mobile app at http://westlegaledcenter.com/prm/prmJSF.jsf?id=3328838.

Will I earn CLE or CPE for attending a webinar?

Financial Poise webinars co-produced with Cerifi’s LegalEdge generally qualify for CLE and CPE. However, you must confirm this is the case before you sign up for any Cerifi’s LegalEdge webinar, on the Cerifi’s LegalEdge website.

Financial Poise webinars that are not co-produced with Cerifi’s LegalEdge have not been pre-qualified for CLE or CPE.

Who owns Financial Poise Webinars?

Financial Poise is a business unit of DailyDAC, LLC, which in turn is privately owned.

Why would I want to be a panelist on a Financial Poise Webinar?

Answer: FP is Cerifi LegalEdge’s largest content partner, producing more than 100 webinars each year that are collectively sold to more than 30,000 attorneys (about ¾) and accountants who can earn CLE and/or CPE for attending. FP owns the copyrights to its webinars and sells them separately to wider audiences, such as professionals at private funds, board directors, businesses owners, and investors.

Each webinar is an hour long. Each has a moderator and 3-4 panelists. The moderator does the lion’s share of the prep work. The actual webinar proceeds pursuant to a 10-20-question outline that the moderator prepares and vets ahead of time with the panelists.

FP webinars are designed to be fun and easy for the panelists. FP allocates meaningful resources to promote its webinars, which directly benefit the panelists. FP’s revenue model is the antithesis of pay-to-play. We recognize that a professional’s reputation is their most valuable asset. For this reason, we never recruit panelists en mass, let alone permit someone to speak in exchange for a fee. Rather, each panelist is a recommendation of one of our existing Faculty Members, and each panelist is vetted before being invited to speak.

For more information, you can review the FP ‘About Us’ page and/or the FP website generally. Information about the demographics of our audiences can be found in our Media Kit.
