The B2B buying journey has changed, and most marketers are still catching up.
Today, buyers complete more than 68% of their decision-making before they ever talk to a vendor. And 80% of the time, the vendor who captured that early attention wins the deal. That means the question isn't whether you should be showing up earlier in the funnel. It's how and more importantly, with what.
Webinars are one of the most effective answers to that question. Not because they're a trendy format, but because the data consistently shows they work: for awareness, for engagement and for qualifying buyers before your sales team ever picks up the phone or sends out an email.
Future B2B's 2026 Webinar Benchmark white paper draws on data from 517 webinars, 151,902 registrations, and direct C-suite audience research across 17 industry segments to show exactly what high-performing webinar programs look like. Here's what stands out.
