FAQs
Are the events recorded?
Most events are recorded, and a copy of the recording (and slides) will be sent to you a day or so after the event (check the spam folder, just in case). Each event listing clearly states whether they event is recorded (95% are).
We send the recording and slides to all ticket-holders, even if you don’t attend the session in real time.
That way, if you’re in a time-zone that makes it hard to attend in real-time, you’ll still have a chance to learn. Simply grab your ticket, and look out for the recording a day or so after the event
