General Information About These Events
In addition to our core presentation, we’ll be introducing you to some of our international advocates at each event. Representative advocates from countries like Canada, Japan, Saudi Arabia, the UK, and others will be featured and interviewed. We are, after all, an international group!
Registration will be available in early September. (Be sure we have your email address so you’ll get the notice when registration is open. You can submit your email address here.)
There will be a cost to attend (TBD)
The events will be recorded - audio and video - and you will be able to access them for up to one year after the date each is presented.
CEs for many certifications will be available. (We’ll be much more specific about this at registration.)
We hope you’ll join us!
