Conference Time:
The first Forum will be held virtually from 2-4pm GMT, or Friday, October 9, 2020 9:00 am Central Daylight Time (Chicago, GMT-05:00).
Due to the anticipated difficulty for some in far eastern time zones (such as Australia and New Zealand) to join the Forum live, a recording will be made available via the IBQC website www.ibqc.org.au from 14 October 2020 onward.
