ASQ Ottawa Valley puts on two types of events.
Webinars – The first event type is a 1-hour webinar that may be presented at 12:00noon or in the evening at 7:00pm. Both times are Eastern Time. Different presentation subjects may include showing how to use a certain quality tool, a new quality-related concept, a review of how your organization implemented a successful program, etc. Webinars allow for 45 minutes presentation time with Q&A.
In-Person – The second event type is an interactive 3-hour in-person workshop with dinner provided, that is usually held from 6:00pm – 9:00pm in the evening. Whereas the webinar may only be a presentation, the in-person events include experiential learning activities with knowledge that the participants can take away with them. There are usually two of these events per year (June and December). In-Person events allow for 135 minutes presentation and participant activity time with Q&A.
Be assured that when you complete the proposal form, your email is NOT added to a database where you have to unsubscribe. You can join the newsletter in a separate form on this page if you wish to be notified of events.
