A checklist of sessions and a schedule at-a-glance can be downloaded from the conference website (below the left navigation menu).
There will be multiple networking opportunities for conference attendees, including breaks and meals during the day, Tuesday night Dine-Around activities, the 30th Anniversary Celebration Wednesday night, and the IAFN Foundation event Thursday night.

It depends. If you have already received notice of having achieved a passing score on the exam this year or have already renewed your SANE certification, congratulations! By doing so, you have ensured that you may claim on your next certification renewal any appropriate CE you earn at this year's conference. ("Appropriate" means that the session's content is listed on the Test Content Outline of the certification you are renewing.) If not, it will depend on your CE Accrual Start Date.
Need your CE Accrual Start Date? Check:
1) your last IAFN congratulations letter (for exam or renewal),
2) your certificate, and
3) the IAFN-Certified Nurses Registry (just search for your name).
For renewal purposes, you may submit any appropriate CE you accrue between your CE Accrual Start Date and Nov 1 of your recertification year.
