Frequently Asked Questions
No worries! We totally understand if you can’t make every session, but you should still absolutely sign up and get access to all of the fantastic information our speakers are bringing to the table.
The plan….is to record everything so that you can watch it LIVE and have access to it later. That being said, because this is a live (virtual) event, if there’s a specific session you want to attend, make sure to sign up, because with technology….you never know 🙂
Since we are hosting the event online and were able to keep costs down, your price of admission has already been paid by NSNG Foods, our sponsor!
Attending any or all of the sessions is absolutely free, thanks to them.
We have a full two days planned for you and are currently in the process of giving every one of our speakers their exact time slot. We will be sending a schedule out in just a few days, so you can plan accordingly.
