Online Forum

The web conference learning experience will be extended using the Online Forum on the AAM website, exclusively for registrants and presenters. The forum will serve as an information and entry portal for web conference participants. Each participant will receive a login and password to access the forum.
The forum is where AAM will post all handouts and other resources in advance of the webinar, so that registered attendees will be able to download the materials and have them on hand during the live program.
Reminder: The forum will require a unique login and password that will only allow the login to be used in a single instance. You will not be able to share the username and password with multiple people for simultaneous use.
