Overview of the Day

A week before the webinar, a link to the webinar room will be sent to the participant email you provided upon registration. We will be using the polling feature to confirm attendance, this requires each user to participate on his or her own device. After each session, we will read a recertification code that you will need to write down and then enter into a web-form at the end of the day.
