The 1080 Group world headquarters is a tiny office we rent (most of the crew work from home offices), so my jumping-up-and-down-for-joy was noticed by no-one.
I was cruising Guy Kawasaki's cool Alltop site when I bumped into The Event Manager Blog espousing for terrestrial events what we've been saying for years about web events: they're projects.
And this post entitled 85+ Tools to Manage Projects saves me a lot of research and writing...check it out. I'd add Project KickStart to the list as one I've used and like.
BTW, the fact that webinars/webcasts are projects is why we at 1080 Group see the need for independent content... it's not just about operating software any more than planning a wedding is just about booking a church. You need a rock solid, 360-degree perspective and performance from your planner, your promoter, and your presenter... 3 x 360 = you guessed it.
(Web) events are indeed projects.
P.S. Keep your eyes out. 1080 Group's Web Seminar Planner's Toolkit, the retail version, is coming soon.
