You do NOT need to print anything that you do not need. Personally, I do not print anything any more. All materials are to be studied on your screen. Print only those materials that are useful to you in paper. In today's world, that should be very little amount of materials.
I am very excited to be able to "meet" you virtually this week and hope that you come prepared to receive a lot of information!
