Pico Auto Webinars

After a successful first Pico Auto Webinar this month, we have scheduled another five that are due later this year. We will keep posting information about them here in the newsletter and on social media, so watch this space.

In preparation for the next webinar, and so we can provide you with an even better experience, we are collecting feedback on how we performed in the webinar and what you would like to get from our future webinars. We appreciate your feedback and don't want to take too much time out of your day, so it is a short survey which only takes 2-3 minutes to complete.
