Test Webinar
In the next year, we would like to add webinars to the benefits of being a member of HDC. In order to do so, we need your help! We need 5-10 members to participate in a test webinar. This will help us verify the technology available and check for connectivity stability. For the occasion, we will have a free webinar, "Hip Anatomy and Turnout Muscles". This webinar will take place late spring and should last 60-90 minutes. After the webinar, attendees will be required to reply to a short survey about their experience. If you are interested in helping us provide our members with more opportunities (while learning about hip anatomy and turnout muscles), please contact Sébastien Hamel at [email protected].
