Thank you to everyone who attended CONNECTIONS 2021! We had a great time and lots of laughs at our after-hours fun events.

If you missed one of our educational sessions, don't fear! You have two ways to watch them:

1.) Log-in to our Conference portal (its still available!) you can check out the exhibitor videos, student chapter showcase and watch each session from the recordings uploaded directly under that session on the schedule. Click on Sessions and then choose from the schedule.

2.) Log-in to our Online Learning Library. Conference attendees have access to the CONNECTIONS 2021 course where you'll find recordings and materials from each session. Enjoy!
