XMA Webinar Programme

In light of developments this year around the spread of COVID-19, people in the UK have been moving to remote working, teaching and learning. As daunting as this might be for some, we are here to help in the best way we know how – by empowering others to work better through the use of technology.

We launched our webinar programme back in April, to help reach people during the UK Lockdown. The programme has since had thousands of listeners and so we aim to continue bringing valuable insights and content to our audience and beyond.
