• PDH Certificates will be emailed, one at a time to the email address that you registered with.   Emails will be going out in bulk so check your spam/junk emails.  Certificates will be sent out as soon as possible after the event.  We are limited on the number of emails we can send out per day by our internet service provider, but certificate distribution should be complete by the end of March.   Once all certificates are sent Jen Miller will send out an email to all attendees.  If at this time you have not received your certificates and have checked your spam filter contact Jen Miller – jamiller@nysspe.org.

Questions & Answers:

Question:  Do I have to register for each seminar I want to attend?
Answer:  No, you can attend any seminar you want.  

Question:  When I register how can I pay?
Answer:  By credit card - must be paid at the time of registration.  We will NOT bill you or your employer.

Question:  Do attendees get copies of speaker presentations?
Answer:  No, we do not give out speaker's presentations.  The seminar descriptions list the speaker's name and their email, so you can contact the speaker and request their presentation.

Question:  Why is there 30 minutes between each seminar?
Answer:  Allows for attendees to visit with the exhibitors.  And we need time to end one seminar and set up with the next speaker.  Thank you for your patience.

Answer:  Yes, the fee is $160 for all attendees, but must be registered by Feb. 8, 2026.

Answer:  No, you only need 1-hour Ethics seminar in your 3-year registration period.
