The video will be AHTD-reviewed and approved before being played one time for membership on a date and at a time to be determined by AHTD. Each Meeting Sponsor company will take care of all elements of this video production and will provide the finished video according to the specifications detailed in the "Presentation Video Production Guidelines" document.
