The theme for the 22nd annual ASCCA conference was "Living Your Best Online Life" - and the conference wasn't just for seniors - with the conference videos embedded below, and available to watch at the ASCCA link shared in this sentence. 

ASCCA designed this year’s line up to be fun, practical and relevant to our times and invites all seniors and all ages to join.

The event was a lot of fun, and was very practical in sharing knowledge that is easily and immediately actionable - and all of the conference sessions we had permission to upload and share to the world via YouTube are embedded below, as well as being at ASCCA here. 

• 10 copies of Acronis True Image 2021, each able to be installed on five computers sharing a massive 1TB of cloud backup storage
• Five HMDGlobal Nokia smartphones released this year including one of Nokia’s new 8.3 5G models
• 20 annual subscriptions to the Tech2 Help Desk
• Five metro in-home Wi-Fi assessments from Tech2
• Five free passes to senior yoga sessions from Yoga2Go, and
• Two Jabra noise cancelling headsets from Being There.

Here are the conference videos - there are some gaps because not every presenter gave us permission to record their presentation and share it on YouTube. ASCCA will endeavour to make sure that every session presented at the 2021 conference can be shared on streaming video afterwards.
