This is a remote event, facilitated online through the program Zoom. RSVP-ed members will receive the Zoom link by email one hour prior to the start of the program. Please check your spam folder for this email if you don't receive it.

If you have still not received the link 20 minutes before scheduled class time, send us a message at thebusiness@sagaftra.foundation.

It may take a few minutes for you to be let into the Zoom session - please rest assured that this is normal, and you will not be considered late/miss the start of the program.
