What is the Webinar Series? An interactive, 90-minute seminar series conducted via audio teleconference and the Internet and hosted by industry experts covering industry hot topics, best practices, and specials interests.
The SMPS Webinar Series provides convenient, affordable continuing education for busy professionals. Sitting in your own office, gain access to valuable professional development and networking without taking time off from work or paying travel expenses!
How does a "webinar" work? On the scheduled date and time, log onto the web site to view the presentation online and simultaneously call in to hear the presenter, contribute to the discussion, and participate in the Q&A. To attend live, you must have one internet connection and one phone line.
Registering for a webinar entitles the registrant to one conference site and one conference call-in phone line. Each member is limited to one "Live Online" registration. Instructions for accessing webinars will be sent via email prior to the event.
How much is the site registration fee? $179 for SMPS and PSMA members and $239 for nonmembers.
The fee is per site, not per person, so you can invite an unlimited number coworkers or members of your chapter to join you and split the registration cost!
Note: Registration closes at 12:00 pm (noon) ET on the day of the webinar.
