Registration:   There is a small registration fee of $75 ($50 for TMS Members) to attend the webinar to defray the costs of the webinar. This fee entitles the registrant to participate in the webinar and to receive a certificate of attendance with completion of a short quiz (to ensure they participated on the webinar). If you wish to invite others to participate on the webinar on your connection, there is a $20 fee per attendee. Click here to register for a single user. Contact the office at 303-939-9700 to register additional attendees who will participate via your connection.

Handouts: The Masonry Society will provide a pdf of the Powerpoint Presentation and Examples presented to registered attendees prior to the webinar.

Certificates of Attendance will be provided in a pdf format to registered attendees after successful completion of a short quiz following the webinar. The quiz is quite simple and is required to ensure attendance at the webinar and understanding of the key points presented. 

Webinar Details and Logistics: Several days prior to the webinar, TMS will forward all registrants instructions for the webinar along with login information for the webinar and for the conference call. At that time, a pdf of the Powerpoint Presentation will also be sent to registered attendees.

Depending on the number of participants, the conference call may be muted during the presentation to allow the Speakers to be able to present the material without interruption. If this is required, questions from participants can be forwarded to TMS staff and the presenters. Alternately, the phones will be "unmuted" so that questions may be asked.

Cancellation: Cancellation requests must be submitted via e-mail to tmsmeetings@masonrysociety.org or by calling the TMS office at 303-939-9700. Cancellation requests will be accepted without penalty up to 10 business days prior to the event. Cancellation requests received between 3 and 10 business days prior to the event will be refunded in full less a $25 administrative fee. No refunds will be given for cancellations received 3 days prior to the event or for “no shows”.

TMS retains the right to cancel any and all events up to, but not later, than two weeks prior to the event.
