Event Contingencies:

1. Where possible we will try to host "on-site" events which includes some food and drinks and networking time. We will also try to host the presentation and question time as an "online" component too for these events.

2. We are setup to host "online only" events when it isn't safe to host "on-site" events.

Online Events:

We will be using YouTube streaming to host this event. That way you can interact through live chat to ask questions. Depending upon the speaker's preference we may make the recording available shortly after the event has finished if you are unable to attend.
