Audio Recordings

• I'm confused by the audio recordings - can I get additional MCLE credit by listening to the audio after the Conference, even if I attended the Conference?

  No, you can only get credit the first time you either attend or listen to recordings of the Conference session. If you attend in person, you will get credit that day only. The audio recordings are available so you may go back and listen to parts of the Conference after it is over to review what you learned at the Conference.

• If I do not attend the live Conference and I want to buy the audio recordings, can I get participatory credit?

  No, if you listen to the audio recordings, you are only eligible for self-study MCLE credit.

• What format are the audio recordings? Do you furnish an audio player?

  Audio recordings will be available as MP3 downloads. You will need to open them with a media player, such as Windows Media Player or iTunes.

• How much are the audio recordings?

  If want to purchase the audio recordings but will not register for the Conference, the cost is $199 (which also includes a downloadable copy of the syllabus). If you register for the Conference, you can purchase the audio recordings for only $100.

• Do I have to buy the syllabus separately from the audio recordings?

  No, the syllabus materials are part of the audio recordings purchase. If you attend in person and purchase the add-on audio recordings, you will receive a PDF of the syllabus materials prior to the Conference.

• If I purchase the audio recordings, when will they be available for download?

  We hope to make the audio recordings available within three weeks of the Conference.
