This year, we are able to record in two rooms for break out sessions for a total of 10 recorded session.  Keynotes, recorded breakout sessions, and the award ceremony to be shared with conference attendees after the CCMA conference. Recorded content may also be obtained by through the purchase of a recording package. This is offered to any co-ops who would benefit from content, but may not be able to attend in person.

We understand that some sessions may include proprietary content, and we fully understand if you do not consent to the recording of your session.

We ask that you indicate in the “Recording” section of your speaker agreement whether or not you consent to having an audio and video recording of your session taken and shared with the participants of the in person conference and those who opt to purchase a recording package in lieu of attending in person.
