2009 Virtual Conference Sessions

Virtual Conference Sessions (formerly Digital Capture) allow you to experience sessions from the APA's 2009 National Planning Conference in Minneapolis and earn Certification Maintenance (CM) credits.

What are Virtual Conference Sessions?

In Virtual Conference Sessions, PowerPoint presentations are synced with audio from 2009 National Planning Conference sessions for viewing online.

NOTE: Virtual Conference Sessions were formerly called "Digital Capture." This page was updated on March 2, 2010, to reflect the revised product name.

How are Virtual Conference Sessions Accessed?

First, download the full list of conference events available as virtual conference sessions and read complete descriptions of session content. Sort the list by function code, date and time of session, or session title.
