The monthly Third Thursday Web Forum is making a minor logistical change in the new year–webinars will require registration starting in January! Rather than reusing the same connection information every month, we decided to create standalone events in Microsoft Teams for each web forum. This will give attendees calendar events and reminder emails, improve access to the chat, and make it a lot easier for me to keep track of how many folks are attending. The date, time, and format will remain the same.

Here’s a link to an interactive pdf of the flyer with the links to register for January and February. Or, just keep reading for a preview of what to expect!
