Registrants will be invited to join a practice logon time/meeting 24 to 48 hours before the event so registrants may test their equipment and IT functionality. If CHE experiences problems with CHE's equipment or internet service, CHE will allot refunds as appropriate.

CHE webinars may not be recorded by anyone without CHE 's express written permission.

Attendees' images and voice may be reproduced and shared by CHE via its website, social media sites, print materials, etc.
