CERTIFICATE OF ATTENDANCE - $5 FEE

FOR OTHER PROFESSIONS
Check with your professional board to see if a Certificate of Attendance will suffice. As far as we know it will for RDs, some NDs and some nutritionists (besides NANP). Purchase the Certificate of Attendance when you register. You are not required to sign in each day or submit an evaluation. You simply receive the certificate after the conference to submit to your board.

RDs

According to the Commission on Dietetic Registration, CDR Credentialed Practitioners may receive up to 15 cpeus for attending our conference. You will not need to sign in each day but will have to obtain and retain in your files a Certificate of Attendance. You will need to keep track and submit talks attended with the appropriate Learning Need Codes. If you are in Florida, Illinois, Pennsylvania or Texas, you should check with your board to see if they will accept this.
