CEUs
The exact number of CEUs is determined by each accrediting body. As CEUs are approved, they will be updated below. The conference mobile app—available prior to the event—will include session descriptions and presenter bios.
All sessions are approved for CEUs however they are awarded per session and to the maximum hours listed below.
Pre-registration for sessions is not required. However, you must attend each session in full to be eligible for CEUs.
When registrations open, please register using your first and last name exactly as you would like them to appear on your certificate of attendance. We cannot make name changes after the conference.

NORCRID will advise of the total CEUs earned and if they fall under professional or general studies (RID's classifications) as well as payment. You do not need an activity code or NORCRID's second signature as that will be applied once processed. You must collect an attendance form from the registration desk that you will submit to NORCRID.
