While we are happy to issue a certificate of attendance to all registrants after the event (including the number of education hours), whether this is suitable for claiming continuing education credits depends on the requirements of each individual professional college or licensing body.
We anticipate that the general conference program will reflect a total of 16 education hours across the three-day event. In addition, participants who register for any of the optional early morning Master Classes will receive separate certificates of attendance specific to those sessions.
In our pre-event and post-event communications, we will provide participants with the opportunity to request their certificate(s) so that you can use them as supporting documentation when submitting to your professional body.
