Civil 3D Webcasts - Get Signed up!

Last week we were introduced to the new Civil Engineering Community. I have noticed that there are quite few users that have actually signed up and are using the site. One area that I would like to point your attention to is the webcasts.

After setting up your login and profile, you can select on Events and then select Webcasts. After selecting Webcasts, you will then see the available webcast schedule. Be sure to click on a the title of a webcast. You will be ported to a registration web page where you can select which webcast you would like sign up for. Using this function, you will receive notifications for the webcast you registered.


You now are required to register for the webcasts. So get signed up.

Be sure to click on webcasts located below the "featured webcast". If you select on a featured webcast, you will be taken to the Live Meeting website.
