What should I do if registration is full?
Don’t worry – we’ve got room for you! If this happens, ensure you add yourself to the waiting list. While our Eventbrite registration capacity is limited, we can accommodate up to 500 people on the event and a Zoom link will be sent directly to the e-mail provided on the waiting list if we “sell out” on Eventbrite.
Will this session be recorded?
We do record these sessions (any student names or pictures will be edited out before sharing and only the speakers will be visible). This being said, the recording may not be immediately available and this is your best opportunity to come ask your questions in person and get this great information right away.
