If a conference participant cannot attend a given session during Live Week, they will have two additional opportunities to view educational sessions during Encore Week, which is scheduled for May 3 – May 7. The virtual platform will log attendance and will issue CPE credit or professional development credits for those who join each session.

Each session will be available for viewing on demand after it has concluded. Participants who have registered will have access to all sessions and to some networking events from April 26 to May 7.
