Professional Development Opportunities
Letter of Attendance
Participants who would like documentation of the sessions they attended may request a Letter of Attendance at no additional cost. We provide a session tracking form for you to complete during the conference. At the conclusion of the event, you may use your completed form to request a Letter of Attendance listing the sessions you attended and the corresponding clock hours.
Some attendees choose to keep a Letter of Attendance as part of their professional portfolio, provide it to an employer that requires documentation of professional development, or submit it to a professional development organization that may recognize the conference hours along with the program information.
Tracking your sessions is optional; however, we are unable to verify or document attendance for an employer without a completed tracking form. Please keep your tracking form throughout the conference and submit it according to the instructions provided at the event.
Please note: A Letter of Attendance is not a BCBA CEU certificate. BCBA CEUs are tracked and documented through a separate process.
BCBA Type 2 CEUs
Midwest Symposium is an ACE provider and will offer Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBA) Type 2 CEUs from the Behavior Analyst Certification Board. A flat fee of $100 CEUs for up to 14 CEUs will be charged to participants seeking credits at the 2027 Symposium. Attendees can add BCBA CEUs to their conference registration or pay by credit card, cash, or check at the event.
