If I am registered for the Clinical Track, can I attend General Conference breakout sessions or the Executive Symposium?
The Clinical Track is designed to be a focused experience with sessions and peer networking opportunities specifically for a clinical audience. While you can attend General Conference breakout sessions, they are held concurrently, and you would miss a Clinical Track session to do so. As a result, you would not be eligible for Continuing Education (CE) credit for sessions you missed. The Executive Symposium is exclusively for registrants who select that as their registration option.

Where will the Clinical Track sessions be held?
Clinical Track sessions will be held at the Renaissance Nashville Hotel, the CONNECTIONS headquarters hotel that is tied directly to the Nashville Convention Center, the location of other CONNECTIONS sessions.
