TWO Webinars on January 22, 2020
NOTE:
To avoid technical difficulties during the webinar, participants should dial in to the conference number provided above. Do NOT use the audio functionality built in to AIDConnect, and mute your computer speakers if necessary. The webinar will be "listen only" mode; please use the chat box in AIDConnect to ask questions or to inform us of audio or other issues.
AIDConnect works best by using the AdobeConnect application, which you will be prompted to download and install if it isn't already on your computer. If you can't install the application to your work or home computer, you can connect through a browser. Internet Explorer (and maybe Microsoft Edge if you have it) works better than Chrome or other browsers.
