This webinar looks great and I would love to attend. Unfortunately I am in a GMT+12 timezone, and would have to crawl out of bed at 3:30am to do so. That's not going to happen, and it probably wouldn't be especially fruitful in any case. Will the content be available on demand following the initial 'broadcast'?
