Subject pretty much sums it up. How do I indicate that I hosted a webinar on my resume? Is it just another presentation? Or is there a different approach to this?

Also, sorry for using the term that, when searched on the fora, elicits lots of hatred of that word!

Don't.  It doesn't rise to the level of a significant professional accomplishment.

I agree.  If saw that on a résumé I would consider it padding, take a decidedly dim view of the candidate, and quickly move onto other résumés.

I would not be so quick to diminish this. This might take as much skill and time management as organizing a conference panel. 

OP, can you tell us more about the nature of the webinar and what work you did to host it?

I agree with Merinoblue: what was involved in the webinar?

If what you did was give a talk for something like the live ACS webinar series, then that would go under presentations with the venue as the ACS webinar series.

If you organized something like a panel discussion, then that would go under service just like other organizational activities.

If you haven't got either the anatomical or metaphorical balls to post your own question on a pseudonymous internet forum, then academia is the wrong job for you.

It was an hour-long talk on assessment in campus activities. This was sponsored by a national association and presented exclusively for 15 new professionals and their mentors.

The consensus seems to be to cite as a presentation.

I don't know your field, but this sounds like a significant presentation. It should go on your CV as a sponsored presentation (identify the association).  The fact that you didn't fly somewhere and give it in person doesn't diminish its value.

I think "hosting a webinar" title confused people. Where I am, hosting would refer to someone inviting people to watch a webinar as a group. All the "host" would do is to push a button an perhaps provide bottled water. Definitely does not qualify as professional accomplishment of any kind.

Presenting/recording/teaching a webinar would be an accomplishment similar to a more conventional presentation.

So, perhaps we have a terminology/definitions issue.
