Hi, I am trying to sign up for some of the March events on behalf of Eugene Hawkin (who is an NYU alumni), but i can’t find where to RSVP for any of them.
Sorry about your troubles. The March events are not available for ticketing yet. We generally start ticketing around 2 weeks prior to each talk.
