5 Steps to Congress Planning your Congress experience is easy with these five steps and this brochure as your guide. For a quick view of what Congress week looks like, see Congress At-A-Glance on Page 7. Congress registration includes a total of 12 ACHE Face-to-Face Education credits, but you have more than 150 program options, so let's get started. Step 1: Select 3 hours of General Sessions. Explore the Opening Session, featuring a keynote address and remarks from ACHE's incoming Chairman, and timely Hot Topic Sessions (Pages 19-21). Decide whether you will attend the Opening Session (1.5 credit hours) and one Hot Topic Session (1.5 credit hours) OR two Hot Topic Sessions (1.5 credit hours each). Step 2: Select 9 hours of numbered educational seminars. Browse numbered seminars on Pages 27-54 to find the learning opportunities that fit your needs and schedule. Don't forget to see Page 26 for information about our popular Masters Series. Learn from the masters of healthcare leadership at these timely sessions (1.5 credit hours per session). Keep in mind: * A/B seminars are identical/repeated sessions held at different times (1.5 credit hours each). * X seminars are not repeated (1.5 credit hours each). * Seminars without a letter are three hours in length and do not repeat (3 credit hours each). * Seminars S01-S09 (Pages 55-56) are designed exclusively for Student Track attendees. * You may purchase additional seminars and earn more credits. Step 3: Choose a luncheon and a networking reception. Choose one of three luncheons (Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday) AND one of two networking receptions (Monday or Wednesday night) included in your registration fee (Pages 22-23, 59). Additional tickets for these events may be purchased on-site as space permits. This completes your basic Congress registration.
