OCRA is applying for CEIP and CE from NCRA and CE from AHIMA for this conference. The NCRA CEIP is for attendees attending at any of the in person host sites. Virtual attendees will be eligible to earn regular CEs for NCRA.

See the agenda on page 4 if the program brochure at the conference website for more information.

If your NCRA CE cycles ends in Dec 2026, your 4-year CEIP cycle runs Jan 2025 to Dec 2028. This means you have until Dec 2028 to earn a total of 8 in-person credits. If you attended the in person OCRA conference in 2025, or the NCRA conference in 2025 or 2026, you have already met your requirements.

If your NCRA CE cycle ends in Dec 2027, your 4-year CEIP cycle runs Jan 2026 to Dec 2029. This means you have until Dec 2029 to earn a total of 8 in-person credits. Due to the grandfathering option if you attended the in person 2025 OCRA conference, or the NCRA conference in 2025 or 2026, you have already met your requirements.

Thursday lunch will be provided at each of the in person host sites only.

Please complete the registration question regarding food sensitivities/allergies when registering as an in person attendee as that information will help each host site finalize food options.

Slide decks and handouts, if made available by speakers, will be made available electronically to all registered conference attendees approximately 1 week before the conference for those who wish to print or download them prior to the meeting. Instructions to access handouts will be sent via email.

We currently expect recordings to be available, details to be determined/finalized in the coming weeks prior to the conference.

No, given the multiple in person options scattered around Ohio and the virtual option, there are no designated conference hotels set up for this conference.

Please use websites such as Google Maps and travel websites to locate accommodations near the in person host sites if that is a need.

For the Westerville Ohio host site, there are 3 hotels within walking distance (Four Points by Sheraton, Hampton, and Fairfield Inn Marriott) and if you mentioned you are attending conference at Quest Conference Center you may receive a discount.
