Continuing Education
HSMAI’s MEET University sessions can be used for clock hours of continuing education required for various certifications, including the Certified Meeting Professional (CMP). Onsite, there will be a form in the show directory to help you to track your session attendance. Please use it and save it at home in your personal continuing education file. HSMAI’s MEET will not retain, nor provide proof of past attendance to meeting and event professionals and exhibiting personnel. For specific information on how the CMP program counts clock hours (not CEUs), please visit the Convention Industry Council’s (CIC) online at www.conventionindustry.org. |
