You could but you will get the same information twice! Sessions are repeated across the two days, so you only need to attend one session that suits your schedule best. 

Why do I need to register for every session?

We ask that you register for each session so that the session leaders know exactly who will be in the room. This is in case of emergencies, for security purposes, and so we know how popular the sessions are.

Why aren’t there more available spots for registration?

The training room only capacity to include 20 attendees. 

What if I have registered but can no longer attend?
