You can earn up to 17.5 hours from a Full Conference registration.

We encourage you to purchase additional event tickets ahead of time through your conference registration. If you need to add tickets after you have registered, but before July 17, 2024, you can contact the office to add them for you. Tickets can also be purchased at the registration desk during the conference but could involve significant wait times.
