The majority of session recordings from the conference are now available.

Please note a few important items as you look for a particular talk…

1. Both in-person and virtual sessions were featured this year.
2. A number of in-person sessions only include audio and slides. Zoom was having issues on a national level during the conference and we experienced a number of AV issues onsite as well.
3. Not all sessions are included below. A few sessions are missing due to the aforementioned Zoom issues, and we are still editing a few others. We’ll post those soon.
