About

Six years of Thursdays

SWP Webinar started as an internal habit: three colleagues, one shared screen, and a rule that nobody was allowed to open a slide deck. The rule survived. The audience grew. The format did not change.

We produce roughly forty live hours a year across six standing tracks. Each one is rehearsed twice, captioned live, and archived the same afternoon. Everything a guest hands out reaches attendees within the hour — no second form, no drip sequence.

How we choose guests

We do not chase headline names. We look for the person who fixed the thing last quarter and can still explain how, out loud, while somebody interrupts them with a better question. If that is you, the pitch form takes two paragraphs.

Two full rehearsals before doors open on every broadcast
Live captions and searchable transcripts on all sessions
Worksheets and speaker notes delivered within the hour
A producer on the support desk for the whole live window

A Rule About Slide Decks That Never Got Repealed

SWP Webinar started as an internal Thursday habit: three colleagues, one shared screen, and a rule that nobody was allowed to open a slide deck. That rule survived. Six years on, the format is unchanged and the audience is a good deal larger.

We do not chase headline names. We look for the person who fixed the thing last quarter and can still explain how, out loud, while somebody interrupts them with a better question.

Every broadcast gets two full rehearsals before doors open
Worksheets and speaker notes land in your inbox within the hour
Live captions and searchable transcripts on all sessions, no exceptions

How An Hour Is Shaped

The shape of the hour changes the kind of answer you get. Pick the one that matches how much you want to type versus how much you want to listen.

Workshop Hour

Hands stay on keyboards the whole time. You leave with the thing built, not a plan to build it later.

Capped at 40 seats

Open Teardown

One volunteer submits real work and it gets reviewed live, kindly but without softening the findings.

Volunteer required

Fireside Thread

A single guest, zero slides, and questions from the first minute rather than the last five.

Chat drives it

Clinic Desk

Bring one stuck problem. Leave with a next step you can actually take on Monday morning.

Queue opens 24h before

Before You Book

Questions That Reach The Desk Most Weeks

If yours is not covered here, write to us. A person reads that inbox and usually replies the same working day.

Ask The Desk

No. Booking a seat attaches the replay to your library whether you show up or not. Drop-In passes keep it for forty-eight hours; Regular and Studio Team passes keep it for as long as the pass is active.

Workshop Hours run twice, morning and late afternoon Central, because typing along in real time only works if you are awake. Fireside Threads and Teardowns run once and rely on the replay.

Yes, and we are usually short of volunteers rather than swimming in them. Send a link and a sentence about what worries you. We confirm scope with you before anything goes on air, and you can pull out until the morning of the broadcast.

We cut to a backup feed, which usually costs about eight seconds. If a session is genuinely lost, everyone booked is moved to the rerun automatically and the pass month is not counted.

There is, and it is not means-tested. Write to the desk from any address, tell us roughly what you are working on, and we will move you onto the reduced rate without further questions.
