    MichaelGannotti is session 3 going to be rescheduled since it didn't happen on Nov. 23rd?

     

    Also, is session 4 on December 7th or December 23rd? This page has a mix of December 7th and December 23rd in the paragraphs above, and the calendar invite is for December 7th.

     

    Thanks
