We are looking forward to seeing you all at our webinar tomorrow at 3:00-4:30pm ET. This is a notice regarding the certificates of attendance.

In order to be eligible to receive the certificate, you must be present for at least 40 minutes between 3:00pm-4:00pm ET (in the first hour). This is to ensure that you receive the most vital information presented by the presenting team of experts. We will utilize Zoom attendance records after the session to identify those eligible.

IMPORTANT THINGS TO KNOW: Please also ensure that you log into the webinar using the email you registered with (the one you are receiving this notice). This is to ensure that we have your correct first and last name through registration. If you have a colleague who wants to join, do not send them your personal join link. Send them the registration link instead. This is because if you both join in using the same link, only one of you will receive the certificate, since Zoom cannot distinguish who else was using the same link.
