- Welcome to the live replay
of the Autism Explained Online Summit.
An exciting free event that's happening later this month.
So my name is Paul Micallef, your summit host.
And in this video I'm going to explain
how the summit replay works,
how you can participate,
and what it means that the event is completely free.
So to give you a little bit of background,
last year Autism Explained ran a week-long online summit
where we had 26 world-class autism experts
from five different countries come along
and share their incredibly valuable experience and insights
in different sessions that went throughout the week.
So the whole event was live and completely free.
And to celebrate Autism Month this year,
we're running a live replay event
which is going to be an entire weekend
where all of these presentations
will be available again for you to tune in and watch.
Again, completely free.
So, our mission is to help the world to understand autism.
And specifically to empower parents
to understand their autistic children.
So in the last couple of years
there's been some game-changing revelations
that have come predominantly from autistic adults
sharing their own insights and experience.
So by providing a platform for these autistic voices,
we're radically changing the world
for the next generation of autistic children.
So if you ask a lot of autistic adults,
they'll tell you that they had some
not so good experiences as a kid,
that's quite common, unfortunately.
But we've got the power to change that now.
By sharing our own insights and letting people know
what they can do to understand their children.
And so that's why we are dedicated
to empowering parents, especially,
with the knowledge and tools they need to do that.
So last year's event reached nearly 10,000 people.
Which was an incredible achievement.
And so let me just let that sink in for a minute,
how accessible that was.
Just think about what you would need
to attend an in-person, a traditional in-person conference.
I mean, firstly that the ticket is gonna cost you
nearly $1000 just to attend.
Then you're gonna have to take a week off work,
physically get yourself to the location,
travel, accommodation for the time you're there.
Pretty soon this is costing
thousands and thousands of dollars just for one trip.
And then, once you're there, the sessions are live.
You're listening to someone speak,
you can't rewind, you can't pause
if you need to go to the bathroom,
or catch up if you need to miss a session,
so you better take some pretty good notes,
because that's all you're gonna get.
Whereas, in contrast with an online summit,
it was completely free to attend.
No need to pay to get there,
no need to take a week off work,
no need to pay for travel or accommodation.
We were able to ask really big-name speakers
to come along without any limitations of trying
to get them all in the same place at the same time.
But probably the best thing though,
is that the videos are on demand.
Which means you can tune in when you can
and watch the videos that are most relevant
to you and your family.
If you miss a bit, you can rewind.
If you see something amazing, you can share it with a friend
and they can see it too.
Not to mention, that all the videos
are closed-captioned as well.
Finally though, for less than $100,
for about a tenth of the cost
of just getting an entry ticket
to some of these bigger conferences,
you can keep every session from every speaker for life.
With the Lifetime Access Bonus Bundle.
So I just wanna take a moment to thank everyone
who has upgraded to the Lifetime Access ticket,
it's because of you that we're able
to run these kind of events
and able to get this message out to the thousands of people
who depend on free resources for help.
So anyway, this is a very exciting event,
and I hope you'll help us share it.
The live replay runs for three days
starting Friday, the 24th of April,
so make sure you put that date in your diary.
And register for your free ticket if you haven't already.
And again, finally, please share this resource
with your friends and colleagues.
It's there, it's free,
we've made it as accessible as we can.
So please help us to change the world
for the next generation of autistic children.
Thanks, bye.
