CONFERENCE DETAILS

Why Participate: This conference is critical to our continued pursuit of professional excellence, training and certification. We know that you have to be choosy when it comes to educational expenses and we feel confident the conference agenda will provide you with multiple reasons to choose our conference!

In addition to dynamic general sessions, we will be offering multiple breakout sessions each with a CLINICAL, LEGAL/ETHICAL, INNOVATIVE PRACTICE or SELF CARE focus. The pre / post conference intensives (separate date and fee; more information coming soon) will likely have an INNOVATIVE PRACTICE (BUSINESS) and/or SELF CARE focus and, though quite valuable, may be non-credit sessions.

We’re planning some networking, fun and relaxation too so be on the lookout for details soon!

Conference Dates: September 24-26, 2020 from 9:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. PDT with time included for breaks and activities.

Conference  in a Box

If you registered for the conference by or before midnight on Sunday, September 13th , your Box (actually, a large and colorful envelope) should have already arrived to you. IMPORTANT NOTE: Your “box” mailed to the address on your online registration form. IF you registered on Monday, September 14th or after, be assured we’re still sending YOU a box but… you may not receive it until after the conference. All conference pertinent “box” items will also be available in the app.

Zoom Chat

For ALL of the core conference general sessions we will be using Zoom Webinar and your video / audio will be disabled. However, we encourage you to use the CHAT box for communications including comments, observations and questions. Be sure your messages are appropriate for the entire group. For the breakout sessions, we will be using Zoom Meeting where you’ll have the option of audio and video. As a result, there is potential for background noise when the speaker is presenting. Please keep your microphones on mute during these sessions unless you are asking a question. Of course, CHAT is an option as well.

The CHAT icon will be at the bottom of your screen. Once opened, you’ll see the CHAT box on the right side of your screen. You may view and respond to all public CHATS.

The session moderator will field questions and, time allowing, ask the presenter(s) to respond to as many as possible.
