​

thank you for attending this year's event!
​

final handouts & resources

  • If you attended virtually, please submit this form by Wednesday, November 2, 2022.  If you attended virtually, we will be processing these over the next few weeks and sending you the final OPI Formal Credit approval form over the next few weeks.  Please keep in mind that OPI credit only allows us to count actual training time, so all lunches, breaks, connection time does not count toward the credit time. Thank you for your patience while we process all of these.  

​A VERY SPECIAL THANK YOU TO OUR PARTNERS & SPONSORS
