CONVENTION ATTIRE
We strongly encourage participants to dress in a manner befitting professionals while attending educational events and exhibits. Business casual – shirts, slacks, skirts and blouses (no jeans or shorts) – is the recommended attire. Learning Lab participants should change into lab attire for the Learning Lab and return to business casual afterward. Read more in the tip section of the convention website.
YOUR POST-CONVENTION CHECKLIST
After you’ve returned home, don’t forget to complete these post-convention action items:
- Speaker Evaluations: Please take the time to complete the daily speaker evaluations for the events you attended. Your feedback is important to us! Note: Completing the assessment for EBP events is required to receive EBP CEUs.
- Post-Convention Survey: This survey will be launched one week after convention. Respondents can enter-to-win one of several great prizes!
- CEU Certificate: In line with BOC requirements, NATA will provide CEU certificates post-event. Approximately one month after convention ends, an email will be sent to all eligible registrants with confirmed attendance with instructions on how to access and print their CEU certificate.
