CPD in Cancun. CPD: 60 minutes Professionalism; Four hours and 10 minutes substantive

The resort is located in the Cancun hotel zone where there are lots of local restaurants and attractions within walking distance (and 6.8 miles away from the CUN airport.) Direct flights are easy to find and the weather in January is quite reliable. We chose a hotel with an adult pool and a child-friendly pool. Conference attendees are welcome to bring their families and children (just not to the actual conference sessions).

The conference will not be recorded or live streamed as attendance must be in-person. Conference attendees will have plenty of time to enjoy the sun and local activities after the breakfast sessions are completed.
