The 2024 conference will offer 9 CEUs for those that attend the full two-day conference and sessions. Each registered participant will receive a survey via e-mail. This will offer the opportunity to provide feedback on the individual sessions as well as the overall event. It will also be the process through which a person will request their continuing education credits (CEUs). Upon verification of attendance records, certificates will be issued.
