Please plan on logging into our virtual Discussion Tables a few minutes BEFORE 10:00 AM so we may get started right on time, we always have a packed agenda!

We will be recording all presentations and sharing a link to the recording with all participants. Breakout rooms will not be recorded, but we will create a common document that all breakout rooms contribute to and this document will be shared with participants.

During the presentations we will use the CHAT for participants to ask questions and contribute ideas. Members of the MABT Board of Directors will monitor the chat and help answer questions. Presenters will also address questions in the chat and on camera as time permits.

Please understand space is limited for these sessions, so if you register and end up not being able to attend please use the link at the bottom to cancel your registration and open your seat for another potential participant!
