Slideshow

Here are some notes I prepared for the Utah CEB in October 2018. I believe they are relevant for any CEB project around the world.

And here is a dropbox link to my directory for that project. There are many PDFs inside that will give insight to anyone interested in CEB production. I recommend you download the entire directory as a .zip file (top right of page).
