Once a month, ASAS will provide programming through a new forum. Modifying our traditional webinar forum, we will present programming on new fast-breaking topics. These mini-webinars will last approximately 45 minutes and, depending on time zone, individuals will be able to access the programming via the web. This new programming is free to members of ASAS and non-members.

Conducted over the Adobe Connect platform, this webinar allow busy scientists to participate from the comfort and convenience of their own offices. All you need to attend need is an Internet connection, and a computer (PC or Mac).

REGISTRATION IS FREE!
(Limited to the first 100 participants)
