HOW IT WORKS
The layout of this year’s Spring Forum allows you to customize your day to suit your learning needs. Create your own conference of up to 10 courses to achieve your professional development goals.
All courses are offered in multiple learning environments: In-Class, Live Webinar or Archived Webinar.
THEMES
The day consists of 2 themes: 1. IT Contracting and Negotiation: Strategies for Practical Implementation and 2. Current Issues in IT Law.
You are not required to stick to one theme; out of the 10 informative courses, select those that appeal to you to create your perfect schedule.
PICK YOUR COURSE
If you wish to take two courses that are happening at the same time, no need to worry, we have a solution. All courses will be recorded and available to purchase as an Archived Webinar. To ensure a full day of learning, you must choose a minimum of 5 courses.
