Thank you for your feedback and suggestions. Unfortunately, the sessions can't be recorded due to the session format and numerous discussion activities. The recordings will not be as beneficial for learning the concepts and therefore, we ask our audience to come to join us during the sessions and have a productive learning experience. For that same reason, we also like to keep our audience pool to only 12 people. We plan on hosting more programs in the future too so feel free to reach out to...
