KSAND Mini Conferences

In an effort to provide KSAND members with education and networking throughout the year, KSAND provides multiple in-person and/or virtual events to its members.

A ‘typical’ mini conference includes networking and education, and at this time is expected to be hybrid to allow for more inclusivity. Additionally, it is expected that a mini conference will provide between four and seven CPEUs (KDADS and CDR).

Some additional features may include:

  • Virtual trivia and scavenger hunt meet ups prior to the conference
  • KSAND Foundation fundraising efforts
  • Much more…

Note: The majority of the Conference will be recorded to allow for post-Conference preview.
