      I know I've asked this before, but are all of these events recorded? If so, I'm still unsure of where to find them. I am unable to attend this conference but I would love to listen to it later on YouTube, SoundCloud, etc. Either way, if it is possible or not, thanks for making these webinars available to all of us eager students.

      Oh no I completely forgot to check back in and assumed one had to have a paid account with 7 sage. Is there a way I could have access to the link still? Please.

      I think an email was sent out with a link to all those scheduled to attend this morning. I'm not sure if it is still open to additional participants or not at this point.
