2025 SSWAA National Conference - Virtual Access

Description

SSWAA will be hosting an in-person format for our annual National Conference in 2025. SSWAA believes there is great value in gathering in person for networking and professional engagement. However, SSWAA also understands individuals, schools, and communities continue to be impacted by limited ability and funding to travel. Therefore, SSWAA is offering a virtual option for individuals who are not able to travel for the in-person event. 

SSWAA will be recording pre-selected sessions during the live conference event. 

Individuals who choose to register for the virtual sessions will have access to 9 pre-selected sessions (13.5 CEs max).
