Details for the first webinar are below :
Sunday, August 19th 6pm GMT
The ‘People’s webinar’
The first webinar will have guest speakers from members of the TMAU community, along with Rob from EURORDIS who is hosting the webinar.
Each guest will speak for about 10-15 mins then will be open to questions from the viewers. The guests for this first webinar are :
Robert Pleticha : Online Communities Manager at EURORDIS describes the International TMAU Community on RareConnect
Karen : Popular community member and UK campaigner on metabolic malodors will provide a talk : “Is it possible to use the media effectively in odour sufferers' struggle for human rights”
Cheryl Fields : Long-time friend and helper of the TMAU community. Will provide a talk : “Having The Power To Endure: Obtaining & Retaining Employment With TMAU"
Notes about the webinars :
The platform for the webinars is Adobe Connect. This means you need flashplayer installed, which is very likely already done if you can view YouTube videos. All slides will be viewable in the webinar meeting room and all audio will be from the computer. Meaning you need speakers or headphones working properly to hear the presenters. If you would like to ask a question or make a comment, you may do so by your computer’s microphone or through a text chat box.

Note : The capacity of the webinar system is limited to 50 attendees. Please enter the webinar room early to ensure your space.
About RareConnect :
A partnership project of EURORDIS and NORD, RareConnect provides a platform for rare disease patient organisations to develop online communities across continents and languages. RareConnect provides a place where patients and families, researchers, physicians, and representatives from patient organisations, can connect in a neutral, non-commercial space. Translation of stories, blog, and forum posts are completed by human translators. Patients can therefore have conversations with others in languages they do not even speak themselves. See a video of living with TMAU, subtitled into 5 languages here.
The TMAU Community was launched in partnership with MEBO Research in May 2012. Please register and share your experience there today.
