VIDEO WEBINARS & HANDOUTS

VIDEOS & SPEAKER HANDOUTS FROM RCGS MEMBER MEETINGS

WHAT'S A WEBINAR?
Web-based seminars - or webinars -  are broadcast "live" via the Internet and typically include an audio feed of the speaker's voice overlaid on a slideshow. People may watch these webinar presentations in one of three ways:
  1. Live group presentation projected onto a large screen at an RCGS Membership meeting.
  2. Live presentation from one's home PC, tablet or smartphone via the Internet using the seminar registration link from the RCGS's Speakers & Events web page.
  3. Recorded presentation (a video file) here​.
Audience handouts for many of these presentations may be downloaded from the links below.
