Please Read-Important Conference Details:

Although the conference will be virtual this year, we will still be offering an engaging and interactive experience for all attendees. We will be using the event app, Whova. Whova allows attendees to live stream speaker sessions, post questions, network online with other attendees, virtually visit exhibitors, chat, post comments and ideas on Community Boards, and more! Download the app now and keep your eye out for emails with more information. We look forward to 'seeing' you at the conference!
All sessions will be recorded and available to watch for up to 14 days after the live conference dates. In order to award the correct amount of continuing education, we will run reports 14 days post-program, which will tell us which sessions you attended, and then evaluations will be sent based on your attended sessions. Again, this will not be done until 14 days after the live sessions.
The first 300 registrants who register prior to February 4th, 2021 will receive a “survival kit” in the mail. Please register with the address you wish this kit to be sent to.
