Maggie,

I am on the East Coast and have several teachers very interested in the Webinar, but with kids and such it is not convenient for them. Will there be a recording on line where I can have a group watch it together?

Maggie Tsai

Should be... It's an Elluminate session.

By the way, Steve at CR2.0 is using a new event module with RSVP feature. My understanding is the Elluminate session only has 100 seats. Please RSVP (or indicate your interest "Will Attend" "Might Attend", "Not Attend" on the upper right hand corner.

Jason Epstein

This will be available after the actual event? We were hoping to watch it as a group next week some time.

Maggie Tsai

I think so, let me verify with Steve and report back.
