Scottish Indexes will host its 32nd virtual conference on Saturday or Sunday, depending where you live, and it’s free.
The conference will be live from 7:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. UK time. To accommodate several time zones, each presentation is shown twice, once between 7:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. UK time, then again between 3:00 p.m. and 11:00 p.m. You can come and go throughout the day.
The schedule is provided in different time zones. If you live in Canada or the United States, Sunday will probably be the more convenient day for you to watch.
