Hello- is there going to be a webcast as well? Or the forum is only for in-person attendees?
Thanks,
Hi Edna – we’re currently researching options, but don’t have anything in place just yet … stay tuned.
Hello:
Like Edna, I am interested in a Webcast, as I live & work in Los Angeles, and on that particular evening (6/28) I am attending a graduate seminar at USC – and therefore can’t be in NYC for the afternoon seminar in person.
Many thanks,
Hi Edna and Edward – we’ve posted the replay of the event on our site – login and you’ll be able to watch.
Let me know if you have questions.
Sincerely,
David
