Q. What are the technological requirements for the e•vents?
Answer.
Each e•vent includes a live audio and video feed to virtually bring you into the same room as the speaker. On top of that, the Q&A session at the end of each presentation allows you to interact with the speaker in a real-time environment! Since our e•vents are technology-based, your computer must meet basic system requirements to allow you to benefit from each e•vent.
