Tickets for individual sessions are also available; call us toll-free at 1-800-365-6552, Ext. 239, for more information.

Optional Courses

Our optional courses are available in both Session 1 and Session 2, so attendees can maximize the number of courses they plan to attend. Optional courses are letter-coded (A–D; see Course Schedule in chart on page 14) by daily time slot and duration. For instance, "A" courses meet three times during each session for a total of four and a half hours of class time. Remember that you can only select one A–D course each session, so if you want to attend two "A" courses, for example, you must attend one in each session.
