      Nope! No cost for the summit itself. (Parking at the Holiday Inn costs about $8 for the day.)

      Kim,
      Great question! We hadn’t planned to offer credits, but if enough people ask for them can work on it.

      Everyone,
      Let us know you’d like us to look into CEUs by commenting here and letting us know what profession you need.

    I would need to receive CEU’s for an LMHP and/or LCSW.
    Thanks!

      So sorry! I just checked the calendar and won’t be able to attend. Please do not go to extra work for the CE’s if I am the only one asking for those particular CE’s. Thanks!

    I would really like to attend, however by the time the summit comes I won’t be working with an organization. Can we attend regardless??

      Of course! Just leave that field blank on the registration form.

    Has there been any progress on the CEU’s? I would like to attend, but need to justify with CEU

    I am interested in CLE credits for attorneys.

    Jill Westfall says

    I’m afraid we won’t be able to offer CLE’s or CEU’s for the event. We had fewer than a handful of requests for an event with 230+ registrants.
