MAY 13 & 14 and MAY 20 & 21, 2021 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time Each Day CLE Accredited
In light of on-going developments with COVID-19 and after thoughtful discussions with our Board of Directors and several dedicated NACBA volunteer members, NACBA has decided to move our 2021 Annual Convention in Orlando, Florida to a fully online, virtual experience that will take place on Thursday, May 13, Friday, May 14, Thursday, May 20 and Friday, May 21, 2021. Each day, (11:00 a.m. Eastern to 4:00 p.m. Eastern) will feature 4-5 hours of online bankruptcy professional development including ethics. We believe this is the safest approach for the well-being of our national audience and we are excited that a virtual event makes it possible to broaden the learning opportunities and engagement with the consumer bankruptcy profession at this time.
Attendees will be able to participate virtually in vital conversations around bankruptcy and other areas of related focus within the profession. Networking is a cornerstone of our annual event and attendees will be able to partake in interactive and engaging experiences through post-session Zoom conferences from the comfort and safety of their home or office.
The virtual convention agenda will now be spread out over two weeks with shorter 4-5-hour days to ensure that content is delivered in more digestible segments. Best of all, plenaries and breakout sessions will be easily accessible on-demand for convention attendees to view at their own convenience. Please note, all sessions will be applied for Continuing Legal Education (CLE) credits, both substantive and ethics. While each state has its own set of requirements for online CLE, we will post accreditation from individual states on the convention homepage. The virtual convention days are offered a la carte so you can choose which days you want to attend virtually and earn CLE credit.
