Important points

• The webinars are set to AEST. This means that the event will start at 7pm QLD time. During the summer months of the year other states and time zones will be different. EG NSW will be at 8pm.
• Everybody will require a good set of speakers or headphones. This will make listening that much easier for you at home.
• Microphones are not essential but may be useful. At times clients may be able to ask a question using voice. This is moderated by the organisers and attendees are turned on and off. If you do not have a microphone it does not matter as questions can be typed.
• Questions and interactive feedback will help with the webinar process and provide improved content.
• This can be done and is encouraged by using the ‘question’ box built into the software.
• The webinars will be recorded (hopefully) and can then be downloaded and reviewed as needed.
• I have provided a link to some additional information supplied by the software company. Please read and familiarise yourself with this information as it will help you during a live webinar. Click here
