A few things to note:
- This form is to create an account only; it does not register users for webinars or conferences.
- Users must enter their work email addresses. We will notify members who use personal email addresses that their accounts have been removed, and they must re-register with the school email address.
- A strong password is required. Once you start typing in a password, a password indicator bar will appear. That must turn green. Then when you start typing in the confirm PW window, the green disappears until the passwords match.
- Once all the required information is entered, at the bottom click on “Register.” Please leave the "Login" section blank.
Once logged into your account, you can register for a webinar or conference by selecting the “Webinars & Conferences” tab at the top of the website. MPY no longer sends confirmation emails or Zoom links. Instead, visit the User Dashboard on our website, where you can easily confirm your registrations and access the Zoom link to join webinars and virtual conferences.
