We have some critical updates related to this event.
Following the up-to-the-minute coronavirus/COVID-19 guidance of the State of Washington Department of Health and King County Public Health discouraging large gatherings, the proximity of the conference venue to the epicenter of community transmission in Kirkland, and in light of the many work-from-home or no-travel restrictions setting in among larger employers, we have made the decision to convert Friday’s conference to an online event.
We are excited that we can bring you the same full day of educational content, and continuing education credits, now to the comfort and safety of your office, home, or mobile device.
The online event will now be from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., with a half hour break at noon. An updated agenda is below.
Given the extraordinary circumstances our region is experiencing with this outbreak, the challenges placed upon conference providers because of it, and our efforts to prioritize your health and safety and that of the greater public, we appreciate your support and participation as we try out this new alternative.
