Webinar Series Details
The SCGS Webinar Series will feature approximately 16 live webinar presentations throughout the 2027 calendar year. Sessions are typically scheduled on the first Saturday or third Wednesday of each month.
Each webinar consists of a 50–60 minute presentation, followed by a live question-and-answer session of up to 30 minutes. Presenters are also asked to provide a handout for attendees. Webinar presentations and Q&A sessions are recorded and made available in the Members Only section of the SCGS website. Presenters are asked to grant SCGS permission to make the recording and handout available to members for a minimum of six months, after which they may request their removal in writing.
To provide a unique educational experience for our members, SCGS asks that the same or substantially similar presentation not be offered within the Southern California region (Santa Barbara, Ventura, Los Angeles, San Bernardino, Orange, Riverside, San Diego, and Imperial counties) during the 45 days before or after the scheduled SCGS webinar.
Selected presenters receive a $200 honorarium.
