Anyone got experienc
[2022-11-07 08:12:11 AM] : Anyone got experience of hosting an "Ask Me Anything" webinar? It goes against the grain here of being specific so thought I would ask as I'm wondering if it could still add value to my audience.
This has come about as I'm considering running a "Christmas Lectures" style event and normally the Q+A parts of presentations are really useful.
I'm also looking at something that has a low prep burden on me atm.
Another thought on this, rather than completely freeform, is to poll my audience for a theme, and then give people the opportunity to send in questions ahead of time so I can prep a little bit to get them some decent answers - but not a whole webinars worth. That way is becomes a series of mini ebombs and hopefully great value for my audience.

it's non-specific in one way (topic) but very specific in another way (free access to you and your knowledge for a very specific window and in a very specific way.

I was looking at charging a small amount for this. Not sure if that swings it back to being not specific enough?

Learnings:
1. The GDPR compliant, Germany-hosted Big Blue Button platform

2. It was a lot of fun. "Only" 5 people were there at the same time, max, but just hosting an informal hang-out was interesting.
