Every Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday the MailChimp Webinar Team hosts Getting Started With MailChimp webinars live at 11am and 4pm EST. On Wednesdays, we dive deeper into the many integrations and features of MailChimp with special-topic webinars. These are also hosted live at 11am and 4pm EST.

Special-topic presentations focus on specific industries like photography, non-profits and music. We spotlight integrations with Eventbrite, WordPress and e-commerce plugins, and we go into depth about automagical features like autoresponders and merge tags.

We thought you might like to know how we write our scripts and create our special-topic webinars.
