If you know how to use a spreadsheet, downloading our Excel file will give you the optimum way to sift and sort the list by your own criteria. We sort the file by Presenter and then Title. You can sort it however you like. Like: by day/time, then by workshop title. Please note the Method field where Z=Live, V=Video, A=Archive. You choose. The PDF file is a static snapshot of our spreadsheet file that you can print, read and highlight offline. If you filter Method to see all the live workshops (Z), please note the Day of the workshop since we will have 2 different weekends.

Arrive on time and be in tune and ready to go.
You are arriving in the Zoom room with your microphone muted and your Video on. You have the option to turn off your video. Do not unmute unless asked to do so by the presenter. If you've arrived early, however, and the workshop has not yet begun, feel free to unmute yourself and talk to others in the room.
If you arrive late, please do it without fanfare and especially do not unmute your microphone unless asked to by the presenter.
People can see you if the room is set up in Gallery mode. Please avoid having big visual distractions going on around you.
A chat window is provided for people to "converse" with each other during the workshop and also to ask questions of the presenter or the staff meeting moderator.
Use the Reactions button on the bottom Zoom control panel to signal a visual "thumbs up" or "clap" for the presenter.
