The 2018 Convention & Expo is almost here—and with it, a new location, a sold-out expo, and 128 hours of learning sessions from which to choose. Monday and Tuesday both feature a keynote presentation, and each day offers dozens of learning sessions on a wide variety of topics—dementia, HR/workforce, mental health, VA protection, dietary, maintenance, housing/home care, and more!

Convention offers accredited continuing education for several professions:
  • Nursing Home Administrators maximum 11 clock hours
  • Nurses maximum of 11 contact hours
  • Certifying Board for Dietary Managers maximum of 11 general hours and two Food Show hours
  • Minnesota Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics maximum of 11 contact hours and 2 contact hours for expo—a list of approved breakout sessions available at convention

  • Dementia breakout sessions—201, 301, 401, 501, 601, and 701—meet the dementia training requirements for assisted living, housing with services staff, and staff affiliated with an assisted living community’s home care provider
