A: You can watch an on-demand session an unlimited number of times for 30 days. If you have questions please email webinars@ppai.org.

A: Login is available 5 minutes prior to the start of a live webinar. To meet the standards for continuing education, all logins must be completed no later than 10 minutes following the start of a live event and remain logged in during the full event.

If you are attempting to login to a live webinar outside of these parameters, you will be notified that the event is closed. However, you may still access the archived recording once the on-demand webinar is available.
