Last year’s conference was attended by hundreds of people and attendees are still talking about how amazing it was and how it impacted them “It was phenominal!”
The chat on both days will be monitored by members of the ABN and on Saturday afternoon there will be a question and answer panel where you can ask members of ABN questions about burnout and recovery.
You can attend one or both days or attend however many of the webinars that you wish to or can manage, but all the webinars are recorded and all ticket holders will get access to all recordings and bonus content after the event.
Each attendee will also get access to a conference handbook pdf
Eventbrite will send a ‘Join the meeting’ link for the Friday 5th on the morning of that day.
The zoom link for the Saturday is the same zoom link as the Friday (but please do not try to join on the Saturday using the Eventbrite ‘Join the meeting’ link from the Friday).
I will also email all attendees on the Friday morning with the zoom link in case you cannot find it. This link lets you join on both days. Please check spam. Enquiries can be sent to info@autisticburnoutnetwork.com
