Our NETMCDO 25th Annual Conference Celebration:
Tuesday & Wednesday, June 2 & 3 from 1 pm - 4 pm eastern, both days
FULL SCHEDULE BELOW
SELECT VIDEO PRESENTATION and SESSION SUMMARIES COMING SOON!
On both days Zoom opened at 12:45 pm for all attendees to have pre-conference conversations, catch-ups and networking. Starting at 1pm we had interactive larger sessions and breakout rooms for small group discussion. The emphasis wason CONNECTING, so attendees were strongly encouraged to attend the entirety of both days. However, to prevent Zoom fatigue, the average session was 30-mins or shorter, with a range of screen-free breaks throughout.
