Join us virtually!
Virtual participants will have the opportunity to participate in the training process and receive a certificate! Once you register, you will receive the link to watch the training portion of our program, which will take place on the first day. You can watch live or request the recording, although premium access is granted to those who attend in person.
After the event, you will receive a mini quiz based on the topics discussed during the training, and you must answer all the questions. As the next step in graduating from the training, you will work on a capstone project based on the event's topics. If selected, the project will also benefit from the DCN Hub, designed to be an incubator/accelerator for projects with impact.
