Summer Symposium

The Summer Symposium is an annual event that combines our traditional high-quality informational seminars with fun. It gives attendees a chance to earn a 23 C.E. hours in a few days, including ethics hours, in a relaxing atmosphere.

The Summer Symposium has limited seating – for the past several it has filled up and we had to turn people away. Please consider registering early.
