7+ Lag Virtual Stevne 2021
As most of you know by now, the 7+LAG STEVNE was not held in Duluth, Minnesota as previously planned. The Norwegian Stevner, Inc. (NSI) Board has been working on plans to present a VIRTUAL experience for you, like so many other venues have chosen to do during this pandemic. If you are in a situation where you cannot attend virtually, we would encourage you to look at possible options to connect with family or friends, and “share a screen” to watch the presentations.
A FEW POINTS TO KEEP IN MIND:
- Make frequent visits to the 7+Lag website (7lagstevne.com ) to stay up to date
- You will have the ability to register one month prior to the session
- You will need to REGISTER FOR EACH SESSION at 7lagstevne.com
- Registration will close on the Monday morning prior to the designated session
- There is NO COST to attend
- There will be a DONATE button if you are able to give a donation to NSI for programming costs
- The webinar presentations will be open to lag members and to the public
- Presentations will last from 30-45 minutes with Q&A following
- REGISTRATION IS IMPORTANT for purposes of security and webinar upgrades

We’ll be using the webinar features of Zoom for our ‘cyber gatherings’ – so you’ll be able to watch and listen, ask questions, take polls and learn from wherever you are – on your computer, tablet, or smartphone from home, your vacation destination – even your fishing boat!
Each session will require registration, but there will be no charge for attending. Registration will be available on the 7+ Lag website. As speakers and session contents are confirmed, the information will be posted on the 7+ Lag website, and all the details for the entire series will appear in your spring newsletter.
Also, on the 7+ Lag website, a “How to Zoom” link will have instructions on how to download the ZOOM app and links to video tutorials that will help you get the most out of your virtual Stevne experience.
We all look forward to the end of this pandemic’s hold on our ability to come together in the “real world” for a Stevne in 2022, but we hope that you will find something interesting in our offerings for this year’s virtual Stevne!
