Practical, Useful, Targeted: FreePint Webinars
 Peer-to-peer learning is one of the best forms of professional education and has been a staple of conference planning for decades. In today's under-resourced work environment, however, it can be very difficult for professionals to make the time to attend live events, let alone make the business case for registration fees.
At the same time, professional development has never been more important. The world of information work changes constantly, with every new tool and application of technology to research, information, content or sharing.
FreePint Webinars bring quality professional development right to the desktop. Most webinars are sponsored and are provided at no cost to the participant. FreePint's unique expertise in distance education ensures that these sessions are outcome-oriented, providing you with new tools and knowledge you can apply immediately.
Upcoming sessions:
New sessions are scheduled regularly on a range of topics relating to information practice, content and strategy.
