Let's Talk!
Blue Icon hosts Let's Talk events to give you the opportunity to engage with peers, learn from presenters and each other, share information, and discuss best practices.
Let's Talk is the opposite of a webinar — we want to hear from YOU. When you attend, be prepared to join the discussion via video, voice, and chat!
- The maximum capacity for each event is limited, so register one (1) individual from your school and do not share the link with others. Learn more >>
- If you cannot attend, please cancel your registration so someone from the waitlist can participate in your place.
- Registration is open to institutions only.
- There is no cost to attend, but registration is required.
- A NASFAA.org account is required to register; you will be prompted to log in to proceed.
- To participate, you will need a webcam and a phone or a microphone and speakers.
- For the best conversation, we request everyone turn on their webcam.
Let's Talk is using the NASFAA registration system. You will receive a Zoom Link and Access Code in your confirmation email. Please save this email.
