Webinar Access
As a membership benefit, webinars are currently offered free to ASBC Individual and Student Members and $49 for non-members.
Registration is required. A webinar access code and instructions will be sent to all registrants at least one business day prior to the scheduled webinar. If your email address is current and you’ve checked your spam, junk, clutter, and/or quarantine folders, there is the possibility that the email may have been blocked by your company’s spam filter. Try adding scisoc.org and send.scisoc.org to your list of trusted senders/whitelist. To ensure that ASBC communications are not filtered out on the company side, try talking to your system administrator about whether the ASBC domain (send.scisoc.org) is being blocked, and how that can be changed.
ASBC Members will be able to log in to access the on demand versions of the webinars approximately one week after the webinar has aired.
