Sessions

These sessions will be hosted via Zoom Virtual Webinars. The Prospectors Team Leaders will lead the sessions with invited guests (panelists) through invitations to the webinar.

Attendees will be in listen only mode. You will be required to register. Links in the session info below.

Think of webinars like a lecture hall or auditorium. Webinars are ideal for large audiences and events that are open to the public. Typically, webinar attendees do not interact with one another. Though Zoom provides options for you to get more social with your attendees, your average webinar has one or a few people speaking to an audience.

All sessions will be available here as recorded sessions on Grant County Day, February 3. They will be shared here after completion.
