The Nutritionist
Internationally recognized speakers will headline a series of monthly nutrition webinars beginning in February 2015. The new series is a unique, three-language presentation held in English, Portuguese, and Spanish. Hosted by Agricultural Modeling and Training Systems (AMTS) in the United States, the webinars will feature noted ruminant nutritionists who will present in English. The messages will be simultaneously interpreted into Portuguese and Spanish for audiences in Brazil and Argentina. Marcelo Hentz Ramos from 3rLab will interpret into Portuguese and Paula Turiello will interpret into Spanish. The two-hour talks will include dynamic audience participation such as virtual questions and online polls. An hour-long post-presentation question-and-answer period with each speaker will conclude each session. Interpretation will be provided for both portions of the webinar.
The two-hour seminars will be held the second Wednesday of the month at 4:00 pm (UTC-5) beginning February 11, 2015. A complete recording of each seminar will later be posted on the AMTS and 3rLab websites.
Pre-registration for the webinars is required. For more information and registration, contact mariann@agmodelsystems.com
