I am unable to attend the seminar on the dates given. Can you please advise me when another will be run?
Thank you.
Thank you for asking, Bridget! We don’t have the dates for the next edition, I’m afraid, but you might want to consider giving this one a go. We’ll get its recordings out to the registrants so being on all of the live sessions is not mandatory.
