FAQ [read the full FAQ here]

Can I get credit for attending the event?

Our conference should qualify for Continuing Professional Education (CPE) credits. Credits vary by association, as do submission details. Specifically, we’re an “Industry Conference (in-person or virtual).” 

We will be sending an attendance confirmation email after the event to those who checked in.

You are responsible for tracking which talks and workshops you attended.

For confirmation of whether the event meets your CPE requirements, please contact your accreditation body directly. 

It is important to follow up with your association(s) within their required timeframe for credits.

This year we have worked with the local ISC2 Alberta Chapter and are happy to let you know for members we are able to collect your ISC2 Member ID number when you purchase your ticket. We will be submitting the Name, Email, and ISC2 Member ID number of people who have provided their ISC2 Member ID number and checked in and collected their badges to apply for CPE credits on your behalf this year.

If you are a ISC2 member you can edit your ticket information to add it - https://www.eventbrite.com.au/help/en-au/articles/441118/how-to-update-your-ticket-registration-information/

This is not required as you may always apply for CPE credits on your own.
