Registration Process
How can I register for the PD Week 2022?
We recommend that attendees verify whether their employer is organizing a group purchase of conference passes. If that’s the case, please contact the group coordinator who will be able to complete the registration in your name.
As an individual buyer, an attendee may complete the registration online.

CPD Credits

Yes, CPD certificates will be available after attendees have attended/viewed their registered sessions, up to the end of the on-demand period: February 28, 2023.

How many CPD hours can be completed each day of the conference?
By purchasing a Day Pass, attendees have access to a minimum of 5 hours of CPD credits (in-person only), and a maximum of 11 CPD credits (on-demand-only or the best value option – in-person /on- demand bundle)
With the 4 Day All Access Pass, attendees can earn up to 44 hours of CPDs.
How will attendees access their earned CPD information?
Our system will generate CPD Certificates based on in-person attendance and/or online login and check in acceptance for on-demand viewing. Certificates will be available through the portal from November 28, 2022 until February 28, 2023 to accommodate those with on-demand passes.
What are CPD credits used for?
If you are a member of a professional designation (like CPA or CIA), where you are required to take a certain amount of learning and development annually as part of retaining your professional designation, the Career Professional Development hours certification is your proof of the learning hours earned through FMI events.
If not a member of a professional designation, the Certificate can simply be used to show your employer that you attended the learning they paid for.
