Five Ways
to Make Your In-Person Conference
Experience Better

Plan ahead

Look at the program and choose the sessions you want to go to ahead of time.

Explore the conference center

Explore the conference area so you can find the session rooms.

Take Notes

The sessions will have a lot of stores and information that you won't want to forget. Use the Notes section of the program to write down information you want to remember. Worried you forgot something? You can also find presentation materials and session videos (post conference) on this website.

Visit Microbusinesses and Exhibitors

Plan time to do some shopping and learn about programs and services that might help you or someone you know.

Plan time with friends

For a lot of us, this is the only time we see some of our friends who live outside of our community. Make sure you find those friends and plan time to visit with them outside of the conference activities.

How to Get CEU Credits
During the Conference

CRC/CEU credits are available in-person and are provided by UW-Stevens Point.

In the back of each breakout room and in the general session room
you will find a QR Code. Use your phone to scan the QR code which will prompt a survey. After the session is over, complete the survey. The survey will ask you a couple questions for proof of attendance as well as your name and email address. Your responses are compiled after the conference and your certificate will be emailed to you. The QR code is also listed below.
