New for this year’s virtual conference, we are establishing a “library” of pre-recorded sessions—these pre-recorded sessions will be available to all paid conference registrants regardless of which or how many days they register/pay to attend. This is our way of “adding value” to your conference registration! Paid conference registrants will receive a link to a password-protected Dropbox folder where they will be able to access the links to the recordings; sharing the Dropbox folder link/password or the links to the recordings is prohibited. Conference registrants will have access to the recordings from approximately November 12th through the end of the year (December 31st). Check back--additional Pre-Recorded Sessions may be added.
