EDUCATIONAL
WEBINARS
Most popular benefit!
|
QTA members can attend educational webinars that address topics that are pertinent to various sectors of QTA membership. Industry leaders or subject matter experts are speakers, presenters and panelists at these webinars, via video over the internet and audio (via telephone or the internet).
The cost to attend is typically no charge for QTA members and since we know that our members' time is at a premium, the only time spent is that time you are at your computer, attending the session. No travel is involved in these webinars.
