WEBINAR PriceScope is excited to announce our very first webinar.

[psadmin]

In our continued efforts to provide helpful, easy-to-consume, and relevant educational content for our members, video was the next step.

UPDATE:

The webinar is now available on YouTube here.

UPDATE 2:
Thank you to everyone who attended our first webinar – if you missed it or just want to watch it again, it’s now available on our YouTube Channel!

We’re excited to share that guest speaker Rob Bates has donated 3 signed copies of his book, and we’ve selected the winners at random from the list of attendees. For the sake of privacy, we’ll leave it to the winners to reveal themselves if they wish – we’ll be reaching out to each of them by email.

Congratulations!





On Tuesday, August 24th at 1pm CST, our Director of Education, John Pollard, will be joined by guest Rob Bates, one of the most recognized journalists in the diamond and jewelry industry. Together, they will be discussing all things diamond-related, including some of the most engaging and explosive stories from the industry, and Rob’s recent novel, “A Murder is Forever” appropriately set in the New York Diamond District.

[RunningwithScissors]

Would it be possible to watch a recording of this at a later time? Or to have a second showing of it on a different date? I would absolutely love to watch this but will be in the middle of a business conference that day.

Will all the viewers be shown and heard, or will our cameras be off? In other words, is it anonymous? How do webinars work?

These frigging time zones, and regions that don't play the game, get me all confused.

[DejaWiz]

Registered! Thank you for this - I am really looking forward to it!

What a terrific webinar this promises to be!

Would it be OK if we registered-logged in to the webinar using our PS user name and email you have on file for us -- and can we turn off our own camera, so we're hidden from view? (I imagine I'm not the only PSer who seeks to maintain anonymity across the Internet & on social media platforms)

Hi @MollyMalone,

To register: Your PS name & email on record are acceptable.

You'll be happy to know our In The Loupe Zoom webinar platform works differently than Zoom meetings. First, only the panelists' cameras are active. Webinar participants will have chat available - and there's a Q&A tool to submit questions - or you can remain cozy, stealthy and silent. I believe you can also change the name that's displayed in the list of participants observing, if you wish.

I am glad you're looking forward to it. We are too.

How exciting!

I’m hoping I will be able to hear the whole thing but not entirely sure due to my schedule. Will there be a recording?

@Tonks , and others who asked. Yes. We'll plan to make the session available on-demand at a later date.

Thank you! And thank you for doing this. It’s exciting to have a PS webinar.

 

[OoohShiny]

This is excellent.

I think I am travelling when it is in progress but will look forward to streaming a recording of it at a later date.

 

[kenny]

Will it be on Zoom, or something else?

 

[John Pollard]

Will it be on Zoom, or something else?

It will be Zoom's Webinar format, which is different than Zoom Meetings. Description is here.

We are looking forward to the event.

Great Job Gentlemen!

 

[DejaWiz]
