Is there a zoom option available? I’m a health professional working in the field of neurodegeneration, located in Nashville, TN. With the geographical limitations, I can’t travel to NU in-person. Therefore, opening up the virtual option will really enlarge the audience this can influence and thus spread awareness among a larger group.
Hi Siyi, at this year’s conference it’s only in person. We’re looking to bring future events on-line. Thank you for your support.
Please offer Zoom versions of these seminars!!!. There are many who either don’t have the travel time or are themselves older and transportation is problematic.
Also those of us still practicing see their clients by zoom.
Are the previous years available on line?
Hi Carol, at this year’s conference it’s only in person. We’re looking to bring future events on-line. Thank you for your support.
It will be my honor to attend this event. I have been my sister’s caretaker for over fifteen years. I intend to remain her advocate. We have a very special bond. We have always been there for each other.
