This is a joint event with about a dozen Data Visualization Meetup groups. Registration is a two-step process. The first step is to click on the "Attend" button on Meetup as usual. The second step is to click on the Zoom link on the Meetup page (shown to attendees only). When it says "Join the event" click continue, which will bring you to a Zoom registration page. Do it now... you're not fully registered for the event until you've completed both steps. Interpret "Join the event" as "Register for the event."
