Individual Membership for Webcasting Professionals
Build your career with access to industry standards, professional certifications, educational resources, and the global IWA community.
Invest in Your Webcasting Career
Individual membership is designed for webcasting professionals who want to advance their careers and enhance their credibility in the marketplace. Whether you are an independent producer, corporate broadcast engineer, streaming technician, or consultant, individual membership provides the resources you need to excel.
At $195 per year, individual membership offers exceptional value compared to the cost of acquiring these resources independently. Standards documents alone can cost hundreds of dollars each from other organizations. Add certification discounts, event savings, and educational access, and the return on your membership investment becomes clear.
What Individual Membership Includes
Complete Standards Library Access
Download and reference any document from the IWA standards library. Over 200 specifications cover streaming quality, encoding formats, latency requirements, accessibility compliance, and production best practices. Use these standards to guide your work and demonstrate professionalism to clients.
Certification Exam Discounts
Individual members receive 30% off certification examination fees. The Certified Webcasting Professional credential validates your foundational expertise. The Enterprise Webcast Specialist designation demonstrates advanced competence in corporate streaming environments.
Member Directory Listing
Your profile in the member directory makes you discoverable to potential clients, employers, and collaborators. Customize your listing with your biography, certifications, specializations, and portfolio highlights. Directory visibility often leads to valuable professional opportunities.
Event Registration Discounts
Save on registration for the IWA Annual Conference, regional events, virtual summits, and community meetups. Member pricing makes it more affordable to participate in events that provide learning and networking opportunities throughout the year.
Educational Resources
Access our learning resources library including technical documentation, best practice guides, and on-demand content. Members also receive discounted registration for live webinars and workshops and structured courses.
Voting Rights
Individual members are entitled to vote in Board of Directors elections and on matters submitted to the membership. Your vote helps shape the direction of the association and ensures that IWA governance reflects member interests.
Who Should Choose Individual Membership
Individual membership is ideal for professionals who work independently or whose employers do not provide corporate membership. This includes freelance producers, consultants, technicians between positions, and professionals at organizations that have not yet committed to webcasting investment.
If you are part of a larger team, consider whether corporate membership might provide better value by covering multiple team members. Organizations deploying webcasting solutions often find that corporate membership pays for itself through team training and certification benefits.
