In-Person Conference Format
How It Works
- We will offer in-depth breakout sessions where speakers and attendees can interact and collaborate with each other in-person.
- Our registration process provides seamless check-in and onsite badge printing.
- Built-in extended time between sessions for moving from room to room, networking with colleagues, and personal break time.
- All conference sessions will be recorded. Video of the presentations, along with the materials will be available to all attendees who register and can be watched to earn On Demand Continuing Education Credits. Those that cannot attend in-person can purchase the eProgram and apply for Continuing Education Credits. More information on our ePrograms.
