Sessions typically run about 90 minutes, with a 30-minute recorded presentation followed by a 60-minute moderated discussion. While the presentation recording is normally posted on the website, the discussion is not. Please ensure to join the event to take part and listen to the Q&A session. 

Please note, when registering, Zoom will send an automated response with your individual link in the text. Some organizational firewalls automatically strip the link from text without warning or indication. Please use your personal email to avoid this if possible. Thank you!
