View the 2014 Technology Innovations Conference for an idea of what to expect for 2016. We had 42 PDH approved “Meet the Experts” style seminar topics in four conference tracks.

Attendees could mix and match any of the 25 minute seminars to obtain up to 5.5 hours of PDH credit. These were the guidelines:

  • No PDH credit for attending a single 25 minute session only. Minimum available PDH is 1 hour, maximum is 5.5 hours
  • Any multiple of half hour credits is available for total sessions attended
  • The morning keynote session was not included for PDH. The noon hour seminars, however, did qualify for PDH

Complimentary registration (Note: Registration is complimentary. Advance sign up will save you time)
