Schedule
We will offer 41 in-depth sessions covering operations, antitrust, fraud enforcement, and more. In addition, 5 sessions will be offered on demand, where attendees can watch the presentation on their own time. The difference between a live session and an on-demand session is the live sessions include an interactive speaker/attendee question and answer feature.
Continuing education credits (CLE, CPE, and CCB) are available for the sessions being presented on June 28-30, 2021 as well as for any on-demand sessions that you watch.
