Kim and I will be participating in what we call a PolarTREC PolarConnect event this Thursday, June 13. We will be presenting LIVE from Kevo, and anyone can sign up to join us. Kim and I will present for 20-30 minutes, then there are 20-30 minutes available for questions. I have participated in a PolarConnect event previously with my students, and it is pretty cool to be listening live and asking questions of people half way around the globe!
When is the Event?
Our PolarConnect event begins at 9 a.m. Alaska time, which is 10 a.m. west coast time, 11 a.m. mountain time, 12 noon central time, and 1 p.m. east coast time. This means it will be 8 p.m. Thursday evening at Kevo for Kim and I, but we will be ready and waiting for you to participate.
Who can join?
Anyone! Individuals, groups, any age, whoever is interested! Best of all, there is no cost to join a PolarTREC PolarConnect event.
