    On-demand Sep 30, 2011

    Hi there,

    I missed a few sessions this morning but have since been on and attended a couple of the sessions. However, I wanted to catch up on the ones from this morning but when I click on the "on demand content" at the side of the title - nothing happens. When will this content be available and will I be able to access it having not attended that specific event?

    Thanks!

    on demand Sep 30, 2011

    There is an issue where on demand videos are not being displayed to some. Rest assured we are working to solve it.

    Regarding access - if you registered, and attended today, you will have access to the videos for 90 days - regardless of membership status, partial, non-members etc should/will have access.

    We're working to solve this bug as fast as we can.

    Regards,

    Drew

    The on-demand videos should be working properly. I pseudo logged in as some on this forum that had issues and confirmed that the on-demand videos are working properly now.

    Regards,

    Drew
