Guide to Gateway Webinars
Launched in 2017, the Gateway Webinar series enables financial inclusion practitioners to share lessons and attend online presentations and discussions delivered by the world’s leading financial inclusion experts. Over the last year and a half, we have produced two dozen webinars in English, Spanish, Arabic and French.
While the webinars have had great turnouts with active, engaged participation, we also know that many of our Gateway users have expressed interest in the presentations, but been unable to attend due to their time zones or other commitments. For this reason, we make sure to provide a recording for each and every webinar we produce. If you missed a webinar that you were interested in, or want to go back and re-live a webinar you attended, check out our listing of webinar recordings.
Here, we walk you through the English Gateway Webinars produced in the past year. Have a listen!
