9 Tips for Successful Global Web Conferences

2. Language: Select the language you will use during the web conference.  If English, use international English that is free from cultural connotations.

3. Images: Select images that reflect the cultural and ethnic identity of the audience.  If your audience does not wear business suits and work in an office, then remove images of Western office workers from your materials.
