If you’re like me, you are super disappointed in the spring cancellations of events, workshops and conventions. However, during this pandemic, our health and safety is most important.
My team was planning on offering a few different sessions at SHAPE America this year during the week of April 20. In lieu of this convention’s cancellation, we’d like to offer adapted sessions via webinars online. They will be recorded if you aren’t able to join live. We’ll post these webinars to our YouTube Channel here.
Below is the schedule & session descriptions. Each webinar is slated for an hour, but may be under that. These are meant to be viewed in order, as they will build on each other and are developed as a progression of knowledge and skill-base. We have renamed them and changed them a bit for the virtual learning experience. All four sessions will be held from 2-3pm EST. Prior registration is required. We will be using Zoom and have enabled a meeting password, so once you register, you will receive that information.
