Note About Session Timing & Calendar Hold

Humanitix currently doesn’t allow us to set up multi-session events cleanly, so the automated calendar hold appears as if the training runs continuously from Tuesday through Thursday.

Please note that this training includes two separate 2-hour sessions:

Session 1: Tuesday (2 hours)

Session 2: Thursday (2 hours)

There is no session on Wednesday, even if the calendar hold makes it look like a three-day event. Please rely on the session times listed on the event page and in your confirmation email.
