Snowbird CME
Frequently Asked Questions

We will be both in-person at Snowbird, as well as virtual, for the 47th Annual conference.

Those who plan to be in-person at Snowbird will be "seated" in the meeting room(s) on a first-come-first-served basis. Each day of the conference, the meeting room(s) will be filled as participants arrive.

The anticipated agenda is under the "Agenda" link on the Home page. The agenda includes Breaks as well as up to 4 Non-CME talks provided by some of our vendors. We plan to have their talks both virtual (as they allow it) and in-person.

We appreciate your continued loyalty and will look forward to seeing you in person and virtually.
