Professional Development Opportunities
Certificate of Attendance
Participants who would like to submit contact hours to a professional development organization are encouraged to track the sessions they attend. The certificate of attendance will list the "clock hours" for the sessions you attended. Closer to the event, instructions will be provided about how to track your session attendance electronically and request your Certificate of Attendance. Certificates are prepared and emailed to you approximately 30 days after the conference.
A tracking form listing sessions for BCBA CEUs will be provided at the event.
