What are webinars, and how do they work?
NCMA’s webinars are live, 90-minute online educational events combining real-time presentation with telephone conferencing. Each month, NCMA presents timely topics drawn from both the government and commercial contracting arenas, given by subject-matter experts. Instructors use prepared presentation slides that are available for viewing during the live session. The typical format of the program includes 60 minutes of instructor(s) presentation, followed by a 30-minute Q&A period. To access the live session, you will need a touch-tone phone, preferably with speakerphone accessibility, and a computer with internet connectivity; VOIP is not available for this event.
Event Time: Live sessions are held online from noon to 1:30 pm Eastern on a designated workday.
CPEs: Participants earn 1.5 continuing professional education (CPE) hours.
Fees: For one low fee per seminar, there is no limit to the number of people that can listen and participate at each site. Seminar prices are $189 per site. A site is defined a single phone line and Internet connection.
Registration: Online registration is available for all listed webinars. Click on the title of the webinar you wish to attend for instructions.
