I'm sorry if this question is dumb, but where can we find instructions on how to join the webinar?

Thanks in advance

I'm not sure I got this right. The Webinars are available for download or only for streaming? Can one get an mp4 or any other video file format of the webinars or can they only be viewed using the stream57 interface?

I think that is the case for now.

Nevertheless I thank you for providing this suggestion. I will forward this request to AMD.

Thank you, if that would be possible it would be very useful. At my workplace we hold a GPGPU forum and I would have loved to have the webinars presented there, and the streaming is simply not an option for me.
