Sign up for a Soaring Webinar

The Soaring Society of Boulder is presently a Cross Country Safety

This will also be presented live and online in two sessions. *You must

3:30 to close: Panel discussion; have your questions ready.

Additionally, we are presenting this as an analysis of webinar and web
conferencing services for potential use as SSA member services. *At
the end of each session, you will be asked to complete a short online
survey about experience. *Your input will be most helpful.

Register for Session 1, Session 2, or both. *One of the services will
have limited 'seating', so we will give priority to SSA members, if
necessary. *Register early. *Registrations on March 7th may not be
acknowledged. *You will be sent links and logins for each session.

Technical notes:
Although these webinar services offer telephone conference bridges,
that function will not be used for these sessions. *Your computer
speakers or headphones will be enough to attend. *There is a link on
the registration page to test your computer as webinar ready,
including microphone, web cam, and speakers. *Live chat will be
available for questions.

If you have any additional questions, please don't hesitate to e-mail
or call.

Very best regards,

Sorry about the early termination, we are way overtime and we ran it
from the presenter PC and he didn't see the extend pop-up from the
desktop view. All in the learning curve.

A new screencaster version is due out in a couple of weeks to fix some
things.
