How to Participate
All events will be hosted on WebEx. Attendee cameras and mics will be disabled to ensure attendee privacy and to keep the event running smoothly. Most events will have time for questions and answers; questions may be asked ahead of time during registration (this is especially useful for those who can't attend the live event), or by using the Q&A chat box during the event.
Registering for panels and workshops is quick and easy! Just click the REGISTER button (above) for each event you're interested in, and you'll be redirected to a WebEx landing page. Then, click 'Register' on the left-hand side of the page where it says "Event Status." Once registered you'll receive an email with a secure link to access the event, along with a reminder the day of the event.
