Comment by NICOLE CELESTINE on November 18, 2011 at 2:47pm: Will these types of conferences ever be conducted via VTC (video conferencing) with the budget as it is, and employees not able to always get away to travel, it would be great to be able to log onto a webinar and get training. As it stands, if this is purely in person, I won't be able to attend, at this moment but I'll have to throw the idea to management and see what they think. Thanks

Comment by Erin Sherwood on November 18, 2011 at 2:55pm: Hey Nicole it is something we have considered, but have not looked into scheduling any as of yet. The reason being that the many networking opportunities and group exercises that are integrated into the conference are a huge factor as to why people attend. I do understand your point with budget and travel and as the problem persists I am sure management will again consider the option to stream the events. Stay tuned!
