A new registration process using your Zoom profile
You’ll be prompted to sign in using your zoom account. When registering, you must log in with the zoom account you’ll use on the day of the webinar. Access to the webinar and confirmation details will only go to the e-mail you’re using at this stage. If needed, you can easily create a new Zoom account for free.
Once you register, check your zoom account e-mail for confirmation and mark the webinar(s) in your calendar using the attached calendar item. You’ll be prompted to add each session in the webinar series to your calendar. We recommend you turn on reminders so you don’t miss the webinars! Note: you can simply drag the calendar item to your Outlook agenda or Gmail agenda and edit the preferred time to be reminded of.
Note: Confirmation and reminder emails will be sent from Zoom using the following email address: noreply-zoomevents@zoom.us make sure you add this email address to your contact list, so it won’t go to your junk mail folder.
A new group registration procedure
Previously, one person could register several team members on the same registration page and pay the appropriate amount. From now on, each group’s member will need to register on their own. Please note that the group rate is only available when 5 people or more from the same organization register for the same webinar series.

If you arrive before the starting date and time of the session, you will see a countdown indicating to you when the session will start. When the session is in progress, an “in progress” bar should be illuminated. Select the “Join” button.
You may experience this waiting screen before you’re prompted to join. Please wait for the webinar to start if that is the case. Once the event has started, you will enter the waiting room, pending the presenters and organizer moving you to the main room.

Access to the lobby will be deactivated a month after the webinars series is done.
