Webinars are typically grant sponsored events, which means it was part of an externally funded program. Grant funded programs are free to everyone and these will remain free in the future. The new MAA Virtual Programs are selected through our Call for Proposals and include workshops, mini-courses, and panel discussions, such as those that are presented during MAA MathFest. MAA created the Virtual Programs to release timely content that is specifically curated by and for mathematical professionals to ensure that all can stay connected to the math community and gain insight that is specific to various fields.
