Please let your marketing folks know that there is a silent (ok, not this time) constituency of people like me who cringe at the term "webinar". Some of us even filter such terms from appearing in our inboxes.
Please call it what it is: a seminar. When people share their slides online they don't call it a "websentation" because it would be so goofy as to be insulting. Why should a seminar be any different?
Interesting, I never had those connotations myself but see it repeated a few times in this thread
When we set out to put together our media plan / SEO we researched all the varieties of keywords / etc and were surprised to see how far out ahead "webinar" is from "online meeting" / "online seminar" / "screen sharing" / etc
