ACTAR CEUs

Historically, 32-34 CEUs have been granted for attendance at this conference. For preliminary calculations, it is suggested that you err on being conservative and only anticipate getting 30. Any additional CEUs will then be a pleasant outcome, and you avoid the likelihood of coming up short on the CEUs you need.
