Coronavirus and Remote Demos

With the growing concerns about the COVID-19 coronavirus, organizations are cancelling large gatherings and working reduce exposure for employees, third parties and customers. 

Accordingly, there will likely be a sharp rise in the use of web-delivered demos (via Zoom, WebEx, GoToMeeting, etc.).

To help you make your Remote Demos as effective as possible, here are a number of terrific resources:
