To view content, you must sign in. If this is your first time accessing the CNE and handout site, you need to create an account using your email address and a password. It must be the same email address used when registering for the event. If you use an alternate email address, you will not have access to content on this site. You may create your password for the site. *If you attend the in-person event and access the virtual presentations, you may only claim CNE once for the five sessions that are offered for both the in-person conference and the virtual platform.

*Presenters are not required to provide resources, tools, or a PowerPoint PDF for their presentation. If resources, tools, or a PowerPoint PDF of the presentation are not available under the Handouts/CNE section, this means there are no handouts available for that presentation.
