A free webinar similar to the recent Survival Summit is coming up. This one is SOS - Summer of Survival.
Instead of running in consecutive days, one presentation a night is going on Tuesdays and Thursdays from early June through August. The speakers will be available for a half hour after each seminar. The downside is that unlike the Survival Summit, you have to be there at the specified time (8 p.m. EST). It also looks like they'll do the same thing as Survival Summit and sell the complete series and bonus features after it ends.
Here's the schedule:

Here's the main page with sign-up and more information about the speakers and setup:

I had a couple of questions to send in about format and wireless speed, but the fact is that it's free so if you're possibly available, it might not be a bad idea to go ahead and sign up.

Is this like the format on Essential Oils that was held recently ?
I got nothing out of that seminar and afterwards they had question and answer and offering the items
for sale at an outrageous price.

One of the pages specifically says they aren't hawking the individuals' merchandise, but I know several of the speakers habitually mention their books or DVD sets, with varying amounts of very specific information provided. I didn't do the essential oils one, although there's a free pdf download about them on this site, so I can't speak to that.
Whether or not you get anything out of this one will depend on whether you agree with concerns posed, believe in the possibility of scenarios that would lead to some of their aspects, how far along in preparations you already are, whether you already have the information they're presenting, and whether they have a tight focus with details that might not be available besides in pay-for formats or are taking a general overview.
It remains to be seen how prepared each person is and how on-topic they stay (one online webinar host did well keeping people focused; I felt like the recent survival summit guy did a 50/50 job speaker to speaker and that the bullets did not always accurately reflect the actual recording, which wasted the time in some cases, but it, too, was free and I used the listening time to build some pest traps and clean firearms, so I didn't really lose anything).
In person expos and symposiums go much the same - some have a nugget here and there, some don't, some have good deals, some have freebies, some don't, regardless of the topic.
I specifically linked the pages with the schedule and mentioned the speaker bios on the main page so that people can decide if there's a topic/speaker that interests them or whether there's nothing they haven't checked the box for one way or another. Since it's free, I signed up. I can always turn it off if the noise, "uhm" train, host/speaker, or topic annoys me, or if it turns into something I've already heard or a sales pitch.
