Vendor partnerships can power your growth—or drain your cash flow if the terms are vague. Misaligned expectations around scope, surprise fees for minor changes, and unexpected disputes over who actually owns the final work product can derail critical projects and turn budget estimates into financial headaches.

Smart Payment Milestones
Change Orders & Warranties
IP & Work Product Ownership
Exit Plans & Dispute Resolution
Stop overpaying for misaligned expectations. Join us to learn how to manage vendor relationships with clarity, leverage, and absolute financial control.

This webinar will be presented via Microsoft Teams platform. If you've never used Teams, it will ask you to download it onto your computer. We ask that you proceed with completing this step, using the same First Name, Last Name, and Email address you provided during registration.

Once you do this, it will allow you access to the webinar. We recommend signing in to the webinar at least five minutes before the session starts to ensure a smooth experience and avoid any technical issues.

Having trouble joining the webinar?
If your Microsoft Teams app is stuck on a spinning or loading screen, it is likely a conflict between our two corporate networks. Please use this quick workaround to jump right in:

  1. Copy the webinar join link from your email invitation.
  2. Open a Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge browser window.
  3. Open a new Incognito / InPrivate browsing window (this prevents your daily work account from blocking the link).
  4. Paste the link into the address bar.
  5. When prompted, select "Join on the web instead" and block any pop-ups asking to open your Teams app.
  6. Type in your name and you will be let right into the session
