"The Do's and Don'ts of Lightweighting", AGR's first live webinar, was conducted on July 15 and attracted over 600 registrants. Bill Slusser, Director of Research, remarked after his presentation, "We were very pleased to connect with so many of our customers and industry friends from across the world. It felt great to get back into training with this new format. The positive feedback we received and the ability to interact with participants via a live chat made this a very meaningful event".
