Can’t Make It to Reno This Year? Consider Virtual Education
Has your organization cut travel expenses this year, but you still need valuable CE credits towards earning or renewing your certification? Can’t attend this year’s Annual Conference & Exhibition in Reno?
In a down economy, you may be challenged to be more economical and creative in order to advance your career. Faced with tighter budgets and, in some cases, leaner staffing, what is the best training option? Virtual education.
NAMSS 2009 Virtual Conference is an organization-wide, low-cost training approach that offers you and your staff the right level of training at the right price depending on your organization’s educational needs.
Given the impact the economy may have on people’s ability to travel, NAMSS is offering an option for attending the Annual Conference virtually through a live Webcast. This Virtual Conference offers 8 sessions that run concurrently throughout the Annual Conference. The 60-minute or 90-minute Webcast sessions offer individuals different levels of virtual access, depending on your educational interests.
Organizations can set up virtual access for their team, saving travel and lodging dollars for the year. This virtual offering provides individuals who cannot travel with the ability to participate and learn from select NAMSS Annual Conference speakers in real-time.
