FAQs
How soon can I start watching the videos?
As soon as you like as you don’t need to download the videos first.
Is there still benefit to purchasing the videos if I attended the event live?
Absolutely! For one, you will be able to fill in gaps in your notes that you couldn’t other go back and review again. As well, as the presenters were all wearing wireless microphones the audio on the videos is actually better than sitting in the audience live. There are no background noises, no conversations at the back of the room or anything that may distract during a live event. It is just the presenter, the screen and the audio.
What if I’m not 100% satisfied?
Take your time to review all of the videos and PowerPoint slides. As you can see from the feedback above the conference received very favourable reviews from all in attendance. If for any reason you are not satisfied you may request a full refund.
