It’s amazing how much our lives have changed in 2020 but what is more amazing, in my opinion, is how well businesses have adapted to the new way of life.
One of these tools, even though definitely not new, are the Webinars. WoodSolutions of course have done many Webinars throughout the years, however, I believe even they have increased the use of webinars and have been pleasantly surprised by the numbers joining them on their weekly webinars.
In February, FTMA Australia was due to hold their Technical Forum at Holmesglen TAFE which was to focus on Mid-Rise given this is where the WoodSolutions Mid-Rise Model is located. The idea was for fabricators to be able to move around the model and see how it works firsthand before discussing how it works in our sector.
The Tech Forum will now be put in to a 3 Part Series of Webinars commencing on the first Wednesday of August at 2.00pm and we will finish our August schedule with a focus on Converting Steel to Timber in Residential Construction.
