For those people needing to justify live e-learning events, this study provides some good comparative numbers.

In July 2001, Centra delivered an interactive conference of 27 unique sessions to more than 1,000 customers and prospects from 44 countries in a four-day online event. Designed in response to growing interest in 'blended learning' at a time when the economy was slowing and industry conference attendance was down by 50%, Centra provided participants with the opportunity to meet with industry leaders and their peers in an interactive setting -without ever leaving their offices.
