January 29–February 17, 2025 | Online Conference

At online conferences, you get the convenience of at-home learning combined with real-time access to speakers. Add these dates and times to your schedule!

All times listed are Eastern time.

This online conference will include live sessions and live video chats with presenters. A recording of each live event will be available for on-demand viewing. We encourage participants to attend live if at all possible, but if you have a schedule conflict, you can watch the session or chat recording before the last day of the conference. You may report for CE credit for either the live version or the recording, but not both.
