Remote Options for ONIG Education Events
We are currently in the process of exploring opportunities to host short education sessions remotely e.g. through a webinar format. We would love to hear from our members about whether this may be of interest to you, potential topics, timing etc. Please fill out the below short survey (approx. 1 min) to let us know your thoughts on this topic by December 13th, 2019.
