Building a professional network is an important component to any conference or event designed to enhance professional development.  One of the requirements for hosting the AAC By the Bay Conference is that webcast hosting sites have at least 5 attendees, including the webcast host.  This will help build inter-professional teams, foster collaboration with colleagues, and provide an opportunity to build a local support network.  Webcast sites can view the stream live or archived.

If you are within a 50 mile radius of Cisco in San Jose, you are not eligible for offsite webcast hosting. Please join us onsite for the conference.
