In studying software engineering practices from 100,000 production applications and 4 million open source component migrations, Sonatype uncovered some eye-opening behaviors in modern software development. One surprising trend: Nearly 70% of dependency management decisions are suboptimal.

If you weren't automating software supply management and paying attention to your dependencies, you were left vulnerable. As the stewards of Maven Central, in addition to studying production applications Sonatype teams monitored download data, ensuring the world has access to reliable, up-to-date information on the latest Log4Shell trends.
You’ve probably written a hundred abstracts in your day, but have you come up with a template that really seems to resonate? Go back through your past webinar inventory and see what events produced the most registrants. Sure – this will vary by topic but what got their attention initially was the description you wrote.
Paint a mental image of the benefits of attending your webinar. Often times this can be summarized in the title of your event.

Capture their attention, pique their interest, and push them towards the desired action (i.e. signing up for your event). You have to make them focus and you have to do it fast. Using an active voice and bullet points is great way to do this.
Always add key takeaways. Something like this....In this session, you’ll learn about:
